The Gillette commercial on toxic masculinity has created a mini-controversy out there in Social Media world. Some people think it’s good to challenge men to call out sexism and bullying, others think it is unhelpful to stereotype all men as misogynistic and callous.
What is missing from the conversation by and large is any sort of practical model for positive masculinity.
To be clear, I believe that women are AWESOME, EQUAL and DIFFERENT.
Correspondingly, I believe that men are AWESOME, EQUAL and DIFFERENT.
But I do think that we will have to work harder to show our young men what positive masculinity looks like.
