How Movies Teach Manhood
Recently, there have been a lot of films teaching girls how to defend against the patriarchy, but there aren't enough showing boys how to defend against the patriarchy. Colin Stokes, who has a son and a daughter, speaks beautifully the need for movies that teach boys a new definition of manhood. He also points out that so many Hollywood films fail to pass the Bechdel Test. Hooray to more Papas teaching their sons that a real man is someone who trusts and respects his sister and stands up against the men who abuse women. And it can all start with the family Netflix playlist.
