Learning to Be a Man: The Mask You Live In and the Masculinity Crisis
$7.50
DESCRIPTION
'Man up!' 'Grow some balls!' 'Don't be a sissy!' Phrases such as these still reverberate throughout Western culture, and shape the lives of many boys and young men. These same young men are growing up in a society saturated with violent video games and often-dehumanising pornography, while also being told to reject violent acts and respect women. Myke Bartlett reports on a new documentary that delves into the minefield that is modern masculinity, and offers ways to discuss this important topic with students.
