In Episode 67 we are joined by David Chambers, a relationship expert, thinker in the field of men and masculinities, and podcaster from the UK. We chat with David about the concept of ‘toxic masculinity’, the gendered patterns in attachment styles, and the appeal of reactionary masculinism among the youth. We also discuss the promise of an emerging happier, healthier masculinity, rooted neither in shame nor domination.
Part of the Talking Shit series.
