Tony Porter thinks that silence is the problem. This week, the CEO of A Call to Men joins Kim and Rose to talk about the “man box,” the rules boys learn long before anyone explains them, what it would take for men to break out of it, and what positive masculinity could look like. \nKim and Rose also talk about the Cornell sexual assault case, and how often women are still expected to fix problems men created. Tony talks about A Call to Men’s approach, which he sums up as “invite men, not indict men,” and lays out what boys need to learn about consent. He also makes the case that fathers and men in positions of authority have to use their platforms to push back on misogyny, and he shares the stories of change that keep him going.\nIn this episode:\nWhat’s inside the man box, and the one thing Tony says holds it together\nWhat male loneliness has to do with the manosphere\nWhat healthy masculinity looks like to the man who trains NFL players on it\nThe conversation about consent most parents never have with their sons\nWhat Tony learned from women that changed how he works with men\nGot something to say?
