Description:
Men find themselves pulled into cultural debates that only increase isolation . On the political right, we hear much of a rules based masculinity, with sets of standards or ideals, and things to achieve, and on the left there can be a shaping of masculinity that is oftentimes negative or monolithic. The difference between ideas and our lived reality is of course very different. Fundamentally most men, as most humans are seeking belonging and connection. In this panel we learn from living laboratories of what helps men connect & find more fulfilling relationships with each other.
