President Trump is not the only man who says the #MeToo movement has gone too far. Progressive and conservative men have come out in the last month saying it has gone too far. Some call it a "witch hunt," some say this is becoming "McCarthyism," and some are dismissing it entirely. But is this men defending the status quo and attempting to silence women again? In this show, we talk to men who have a different take on the #MeToo movement. They are calling for men to step up in this moment to reflect on their behavior, on the meaning of masculinity and manhood, and to reexamine the messaging men received growing up that needs to change. It is a conversation with men about men as they analyze, assess and discuss various behaviors of men and how men need to engage and speak out in the #MeToo movement. Dr. Michael Kimmel is a sociologist and an expert on masculinity. Mychal Denzel Smith is the author of "Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching" and a columnist for The Nation magazine. And John Fugelsang is an actor, broadcaster and comedian. |
