Are traditional gender roles in parenting holding us back? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Jack Kammer, a passionate advocate for men's issues and author of three books on male gender dynamics. We explore the complex landscape of modern parenting, challenging long-held assumptions about men's roles in family life and society at large.
Jack shares his journey from radio host to social worker, revealing how his experiences shaped his understanding of the challenges men face in a world that often misunderstands their needs and desires. We discuss the impact of stereotypes, the importance of equality in both professional and domestic spheres, and the potential for positive change when we break free from outdated gender expectations.
Key Insights:
