Episode Details

Raising a teenage boy today is not easy. Young men face intense pressure to navigate conflicting models of masculinity. They're told that a real man should strive, win and dominate but one misstep could lead to being cancelled online without recourse. For many teenager boys, isolation feels safer than engagement with the world. Today I talk with author Ruth Whippman about what it means to raise boys in these complicated times. Her book Boymom offers an exploration of this landscape from the perspective of a feminist mother of three boys.
