Episode 12: How Toxic Masculinity Affects Us All

Ben Friday

This week’s episode topic is one that I have a passion for and am frequently talking to clients about in session.

I will clarify what parts of traditional masculinity have not been shown to be harmful, and which parts have a tangible, negative effect on men, women, children, and our society at large.
