In this episode, we will launch the first of three conversations on masculinities with Dr. Suzanne Ashworth. We will discuss why masculinities should be understood as plural even though our culture seems to ignore all but the most dominant and idealized version of it. We will also discuss boyhood and the ways in which mainstream culture begins to ‘boy’ our boys in the direction of emotional indifference and cruelty. Throughout the three-part series, we will constantly return to the questions: what does masculinity feel? And what more might masculinity feel?
