S02 Episode 07: In what ways do large unity events come short?

by Leave a Comment

Join Jake and Carl as they react to a unity event hosted at Colorado State University event called CSUnite (for more info: https://firstamendment.colostate.edu/). They span a variety of subjects stemming from that conversation, giving listeners and men an example of how to nuance polarizing subjects. They talk a little bit about internalized dominance and remind themselves that we have to see ourselves in other White, heterosexual, cis-men in order to effectively work with them for positive change. Self-reflection and taking responsibility for the actions of other men is a crucial aspect of men exercising social justice.
