Episode 35 - MAN, INTERRUPTED

Vanita Daniels (director, Rise Up Against Gender Based Violence) joined me to discuss the problem of/with masculinities: a) Are there any "good men" or are allies in the fight for gender-justice also problematic? b) What are differences (if any) between men across class, geography and other markers when it comes to masculinties? How do our toxicities play out depending on various social facts about us? c) Should men get any kind of amnesty for truth-telling or is the idea of trading justice for a possible pathway to safety inherently problematic and a non-starter? d) Is there ANYTHING positive about masculinity? e) Could we imagine a world in which gender is eliminated in our language, and almost entirely de-emphasised in our relations with one another? Have a listen.

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!" So come with well-considered reasons for your viewpoints when you get YOUR chance to come on the platform to In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser
