Let's Dismantle the Patriarchy (an online class for men)

Practice challenging some of the toxic elements of the patriarchy with other men.
Do you find it hard to speak up and challenge banter, jokes or behaviour when it goes too far?
Do you wrestle with the pressures placed on men to ‘be strong’ or ‘man-up’?
We all know the toxic effects of the patriarchy on women, but what about the pressure it puts on men?
This class is a taster of the longer course which focuses on freeing men from the expectations and limiting beliefs that the patriarchy puts them under, as well as equipping them with tools to challenge misogynistic behaviour & attitudes.
In this 2.5 online class, we’ll use improv activities, discussion & reflection to explore:
Reframing vulnerability & masculinity
Active listening
Supporting & amplifying the voices of under-represented groups
'It’s easy to absorb all kinds of messages from society about masculinity and come to believe that there’s a right way and a wrong way to be a man. But as I got older, I realised that my ideas about being a tough guy or cool guy just weren’t me. Life became a lot easier when I simply started being myself.' - Barack Obama
‘We need men to speak out. We need to raise the bar a little higher.’ - Jackson Katz
