For the Boys: On Masculinity

Today I am thrilled to share with you a full episode dedicated to masculinity and the changing face of gender roles in modern society. In a world where gender roles and definitions are becoming more fluid, knowing where you fit in and how to behave can be confusing for boys and young men. Which is why it is so critical to have positive role models. In today’s episode, we’ll explore what it means to be a man from a sociological, psychological, and personal perspective. We’ll also discuss the 5 key principles I learned from my father, all of which have guided me to become a good man and human being. Because, at the end of the day, no matter HOW you identify, it’s being a good person that’s important.To learn more, tune into Episode #47 of Cure For The Common Life!In this episode you will learn about: Gender Relations (1:18) What happens when there is a lack of male influence around young men (4:04) Gender as a social construct (6:15) Gender identity (8:17) Shifting ideas around gender (9:06) Confusion in young boys (10:07) My son’s first prom (10:35) Dating (12:42) How men teach men how to behave (15:16) How to know the right thing to do (16:20) What masculinity means (17:21) Why boys need help understanding how to become a man (19:15) How to create access to positive male role models (19:54) Five things I learned from my dad that made me a good man (20:37) Integrity (21:57) Tenacity (22:59) Energy (23:29) Joyfulness (24:49) Kindness (26:19) Looking for solutions (29:26)Let’s Connect!WebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagramConnect With JosephMcClendon III:Twitter @JosephMcClendonInstagram: @iamjosephmcclendonResources: www.neuroencoding.comBook: Dare to Be MagnificentSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
