Toxic Masculinity, Attraction, and Body Image in Men with Dr Scott Griffiths

Hello Body Protestors! We are leaning into the science this week and had a very interesting conversation with researcher Dr Scott Griffiths on how eating disorders manifest in men, muscle dysmorphia or ‘bigorexia’, the role of gender norms and toxic masculinity in male appearance ideals, and how body image fluctuates all the time. This episode’s knowledge noodle is on ‘seasonal body image’.  Episode Links:Scott on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Scott1Griffiths Scott’s Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs7nKcPsAXI Ted Q&A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbJQllJqJTM Scott’s book recommendation: The Right to Sex by Amia SrinivasanShow Links:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bodyprotest/Honey on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/honeykinny/?hl=en Nadia on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nadia.craddock/ Show CreditsThis podcast is produced by Daisy Grant https://daisygrantproductions.co.uk Music is by Eve Garland and Zane Morris  Hosted on Acast.
