The barbershop where men go to heal – Matt Brown TED Talk
It’s important for men to have safe spaces that they can be vulnerable with each other. This enables them to breakdown rigid gender stereotypes like “men have to be stoic and not show emotion” and create supportive and positive friendships. Matt Brown talks about how he helped to create these spaces for men in his community to “take off their masks”, and the importance of men taking responsibility for doing it themselves and not expecting women to do it for them.

Violence against women: it’s a men’s issue – Jackson Katz TED Talk
Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called “women’s issues.” But in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men’s issues, and shows how these violent behaviours are tied to definitions of manhood. A clarion call for us all – women and men – to call out unacceptable behaviour and be leaders of change.
