Youthpod Ireland

This week we are walking about the idea of 'toxic masculinity' as captured in the recent Gillette advertisement, which instantly went viral and initiated conversation around masculinity and the toxic behaviours that have often come to redefine it. We have Becca back on the podcast to give a gender- balanced view on the topic and we ourselves differ in opinion throughout. But it's not our opinions that matter, it's yours. So please get involved on Facebook, Twitter or by emailing us at youthpod18@gmail.com Does youth work have a role to play in defining masculinity? Is this an issue for schools and parents? Is it an issue for just boys or both sexes? Lots of questions, we're exploring our potential answers in this important conversation and intriguing episode.
