Men Behaving Badly - Dissolving Toxic Masculinity with Thomas Haller

Join us tonight at 4pm PT/7pm ET

There was a time back in the 1990s and early 2000's when the phrase "men behaving badly" used to bring a smile to the faces of many fans who enjoyed watching the (by those days' standards) fairly innocent antics of two feckless, responsibility-shirking boy-men in the long-running UK and later US remake of the popular TV sitcom Men Behaving Badly.  

How times change.

With recent revelations of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and misogyny running rampant throughout society, government, the workplace, and indeed every facet of life the subject of men behaving badly is clearly no longer a laughing matter. 

Joining me on tonight's program is psychotherapist, sexologist, author and speaker Thomas Haller whose latest book Dissolving Toxic Masculinity explains how prevailing societal standards - many of which are so ingrained we rarely think to examine them - are having an insidious influence on the development of our sons, increasing the potential for their growing up to be chauvinistic, misogynistic, bigoted men who believe that aggression and dominance over women is normal masculine behavior.

The author of nine highly acclaimed books, Thomas Haller is a certified sex therapist, sports counselor, and forensic social worker who has maintained a 30-year private practice working with children, adolescents, and couples.  He's also spent the last 15 years working in rado and TV, answering viewer's parenting and relationship questions live on air.

Join us tonight when Thomas Haller and I will be discussing: 

·      Why repeated use of the words “makes me” or “made me” has contributed to the rise of toxic masculinity

·      How we can teach our boys to not be judgmental

·      Why empathy deficits at home contribute to toxic masculinity and how we can change this

·     Which myths about sex and sexuality urgently need dispelling

·  Consent – what constitutes it, what does not, and how to teach boys the difference…and more…
