How Justin Baldoni Is Making Moves For Male Students
What are 3 issues modern men face that Justin Baldoni addresses on his social media and through talks?
What does Justin encourage young men to do to change the social pressures?
Justin focused a lot on reframing the word manhood and what it means to be a man in society. He had some personal experiences that he showed; through his social media switch and the way of his upbringing with his own fatherly figure. He encouraged men to both change what it means to be a man and stand up against derogatory talk like “locker room talk.” Justin Baldoni made a strong point about the ripple effect and how it takes one man to take the lead, slowly reframing our conversations.
“Locker room talk” was the modern-day example of an opportunity to call men out. Objectification of women was a prevalent topic within Justin’s TED Talk. He was very stern in saying that everything he spoke about that day was just scraping the surface, and I certainly agree. We still have a long way to go, considering the fact that pornography and prostitution are still bad beaviours being pushed furhter into the world because of patriarchy. There is a lot of power in calling out men, because “following the crowd” had detrimental effects on society; such as men’s issues, sexual assault, abuse or neglect, among several other factors that affect both men and women.
