Inflection Point: “Put down your male fragility”: Scene On Radio’s John Biewen & Celeste Headlee

What’s going on with men? Can masculinity exist without its more toxic forms? 

Why is it so hard to negotiate the gender power dynamic in everyday situations, like work meetings? And why can men get away with sexual misconduct---and even end up seeming like the “real” victim when they’re accused? While I’ve taken this season of Inflection Point to focus on what women can do to rise up and have more power, John Biewen and Celeste Headlee of Scene on Radio - MEN have been examining how the patriarchy that we’re rising up against was formed in the first place--and what to do about it. Today we’re taking a look at the conversations we’ve had over the past seasons of both shows and comparing notes to see if we can find some answers---together.
