Many of us have been accused of perpetuating the concept of male privilege and male power. Heaven forbid a man uses his God-given talents and abilities to lift his people up. But too many misguided and damaged souls tend to see only the worst parts of the men in their vicinity or, on social media and in the bright light of the entertainment industry. Those men, in no way, are indicative of the general consensus of men and, yet, many still view men as the premier problem in society today. My guest today, Dr. Warren Farrell, helps unpack why that is not the case and, if anything how genuine men are the cure to many of the ailments of modern times. We talk about why “men’s issues” are not just men’s issues, the differences in what language men and women speak, the male equivalents of the feminist movement, why men are more interested in garnering respect than love, the dreaded “V-word” (vulnerability), and 6 mindsets to form powerful connections between men and women.  SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (04:10) The Boy Crisis and Male Identity   (14:54) Reframing Power and Responsibility in Men   (29:18) Gender Dynamics in Communication and Relationships   (41:47) Improving Communication in Relationships   (53:10) The Art of Non-Defensive Communication   (01:04:01) Deepening Love Through Relationship Practices   (01:13:16) Enhancing Relationships Through Active Listening Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
