Masculinity Without Toxicity

The traditional definition of masculinity has always been a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is associated with positive traits like strength, courage, and leadership. On the other hand, it also carries with it a sense of violence, aggression, and control. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the negative aspects of masculinity, leading to the rise of the term "toxic masculinity." While it is important to acknowledge the harmful effects of traditional masculinity, we should also be careful not to demonize all men.Tune in to this episode to hear Tim’s thoughts on Toxic Masculinity.

Highlights: 

02:06 I just wanted to speak to, you know, the hearts and minds of men out there and others who are concerned about men, to make sure that as different things are bantered about, we don't paint the entire male species with one broad brush.

05:41 Generally speaking, it brings a certain kind of characteristic to the table and that is not necessarily synonymous with toxicity.

09:16 Both the male and the female have dominion. As you walk out your life, whether you're male or female, you have a domain in the Earth.

15:39 You need to get you different bands of men to help you with governing the people, that's the basis of government.

18:37 Some guys are toxic but they're not toxic because they're males. They're toxic because they are jerks who have character flaws.That's on that individual.
