044: Guest Interview with Emma Brown on her latest book “To Raise a Boy. Classrooms, Locker Rooms, and the Hidden Struggles of American Boyhood”

Emma Brown, an author and investigative journalist for the Washing Post, perhaps best known for being responsible for bringing the Dr Christine Blasey Ford / Bett Kavanaugh story to light. In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Emma about the surprisingly scary issues facing boys today.  We discuss boys as silent victims of sexual assault who are not taken seriously; why we should drop the term the toxic masculinity and use the preferred “man box” and how to enlarge that box for our boys; the ambiguity of consent including the Aziz Ansari case; and much more!    Check out more about Emma Brown and her book here:  https://www.toraiseaboy.com Twitter @emmerbrown Hosted on Acast.
