The standards of masculinity are not exactly clear.
On one end of the spectrum, you have the guy driving a Prius who’s in touch with his feelings, does yoga, drinks kombucha, has tons of female friends and rejects all forms of violence.
On the other end, you have the guy driving a giant pick up truck who’s addicted to violence, porn, hating women, dominating men, and who rejects anything perceived as “feminine” such as admitting any kind of weakness or asking for help.
There has to be a middle ground. Perhaps a dude in a BMW addicted to violent yoga?
I don’t know. But it’s clear that with the rise of the #MeToo movement, rampant sexual violence and addiction, the normalization of misogynistic hate groups and the fact that an entire generation of young men are now being vastly outnumbered by women in college admissions, men are at a crisis point.
Can men be fixed?
This week’s guest, Traver Boehm believes they can. And he’s just the guy to do it.
Traver Boehm knows men. How they think, what’s behind their behavior, and most importantly — their unique challenges in today’s evolving landscape.
Traver is the the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, the author of Man UNcivilized as well as a two time TEDx speaker, and podcaster.
Traver believes that many men are suffering from unprocessed trauma, more often than not, inflicted by other men. Of course, as one of millions of women who’ve had to endure unchecked male privilege, nauseating mansplaining, being paid less than male colleagues for the same work, sexual impropriety, walking through parking lots with keys laced through my fingers, being completely diminished, ignored, and charged more for just about everything, I have a somewhat difficult time feeling sorry for the apex predator.
On the other hand, I honestly like men and I think it would benefit everyone if the broken ones seriously got their shit together.
This is will not be an easy conversation for some of you to hear. If I somehow offend you with my feminist point of view, please know that I don’t fucking care.
(See list of justifiable complaints above).
