The Man Box

The following is a TED Talk from Tony Porter.

"Tony Porter is an educator and activist and has been working in the social justice arena for over twenty years. He is nationally recognized for his effort to end men's violence against women" (http://www.movetoendviolence.org/community/profiles/tony-porter) His solution to making a change is to break free of the "man box".






Tony Porter does a great job of explaining this unfortunate phenomenon, as we as, providing examples. He also challenges us to be a part of the change. 

He quotes,  "God, if it will kill him (9 year old boy) to be called a girl, what are we then teaching him about girls?"
