Episode 7 - The Will to Change -Pro Feminsts in the 2000's
“Feminism is going to make it possible for the first time for men to be free.” These are the words that started this season, and they were spoken more than a 100 years ago. And by now I’m sure you’re wondering where it all went wrong. Our last episode we left off talking about the male movements that inspired major calamities such as the January 6 storming of the capital, the Charlottesville Unite The Right march, the killings of Eliott Rodgers and Alex Minassian among other events However in the background though there have been many men and many male communities trying something different, something less toxic and hateful, some are feminist and some are not. People like Jackson Katz, Tony Porter, Michael Kaufman and others are responding to a specific policy, some are responding therapeutically. Some want to help every man, and some want to help specific men. In this episode to end this season we’ll highlight the many movements that are going on to this day and think about what has and has not helped, and what inspired them.
