Male-Bashing Is Really No Joke!

These Comments Hurt Men And Boys

Women often miss these statements. But men hear (or see) these sentiments of inadequacy and idiocy multiple times a week. And they either make their skin crawl or make them feel beaten down constantly.

And ladies—it’s not just impacting our husbands. Think about what our sons are absorbing about themselves. We want a society of strong, capable men—but we raise boys who are told over and over again that they are worthy of ridicule. It is absolutely damaging and dangerous. For men, whose self-doubt is a deep and hidden characteristic, what we think of as throwaway comments can truly cause anguish. Our sons absorb these messages too, both spoken and unspoken.

There’s a better way.
