55 min No genre G

When we call out the inappropriate behaviours of boys and young men, we still hear the refrain ‘ah well, boys will be boys’ – in schools, in the workplace and at home. And with younger and younger boys being drawn to harmful social media influencers, this issue is becoming increasingly urgent. This panel will unpack these issues around toxic masculinities, incel culture and male mental health and share solutions to move away from the norm of ‘boys will be boys’ and promote healthy models of masculinity for young men. Speakers: Jonty Bush MP (F), Matt Brown, Aaron Fa’aoso, David John and Dean Cooper. Performance: Aniita Maka & Chris Alexander (House of Alexander). Presented by QPAC and WOW – Women of the World Australia Recorded at QPAC’s Cremorne Theatre for Digital Stage.
