In Episode 11, we start off a three-part series on toxic masculinity. We talk about the definition of toxic masculinity, what it means to be a man, men expressing emotions, and mansplaining. Also, the impact of the Me Too movement, male dominance, violence against women, holding ourselves accountable, and much more.
