How to Be a Man: Janet Street-Porter

Rylan Clark is joined by writer and broadcaster Janet Street-Porter for her take on the challenges faced by men and boys in the 2020s. She reflects on her career as one of the only women working on Fleet Street in the 1960s and 1970s and how she adopted ‘masculine characteristics’ to get on. She also gives her opinion on the plight of working class boys and why they are failing in education, and lifts the lid on her four marriages and why she hates the word ‘couple’. In this series, Rylan Clark opens up the fault lines of masculinity in lively and revealing conversations with diverse, prominent figures and celebrities. Together they explore toxic masculinity, old-fashioned male stereotypes, gender identity, body image, parenthood, how to educate the next generation, role models and cultural differences to try to understand How to Be a Man in the 2020s.
