Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!Are boys destined to become incels, misogynists, and emotionally stunted? When it does happen is patriarchy to blame? Can parents do something to prevent toxic masculinity from ruining their sweet little angels? Can grown men reparent themselves to get back to who they were before society took control? In the wake of #MeToo, pregnant with her third son, this week's guest, Ruth Whippman, was thinking about all of this and much more. Have a seat and listen in to our conversation with Ruth about her new book, Boymom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity, which explores the role (and toll) of toxic masculinity as little boys become men. Ruth Whippman is a British journalist and cultural critic. A former BBC documentary director, she has written for The New York Times, Time magazine, New York magazine, The Guardian, HuffPost, and other publications.
