Helping boys get out of the "man box" with Peggy Orenstein & Dr. Michael Reichert

We know gender stereotypes hurt girls. But what are they doing to boys? From a young age, our society tells boys they must be dominant and tough. They learn not to show vulnerability or ask for help. That emotional suppression makes it hard for boys to cope with, well, everything—and it’s painful for the people who love them, too. So this week on Tilted, we’re talking about how toxic masculinity puts boys in “man boxes” and how we can help them get out. We’re joined by two experts on the topic: Peggy Orenstein, author of Boys and Sex , and Dr. Michael Reichert, author of How to Raise a Boy . Sign-up for LeanIn.Org's newsletter here .
