<p>This is an excerpt of my TEDx talk that I recently gave in India around International Women's Day 2019. &nbsp;Men benefit from patriarchy but they also suffer because of it. So, the power privilege that sexism affords to men, also traps them into narrow boxes and roles. &nbsp;</p> <p>This talk questions the model of masculinity and the narrow gender boxes that are imposed upon children, and how men are forced to conform to a certain notion of male ideal. The effect on their mental health is not often discussed and talked about.</p> <p><strong>I run a Feminist Parenting group here: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingfeminists/"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingfeminists/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>And, my Feminist Parenting course is now open.
