A New Man: Toxic Masculinity In American Prisons And Policing Part 2
Anuar Velasquez, Devon Adams, and. Martin Friedman are back this week to continue their discussion about the toxic masculinity they witnessed and experienced in the justice system. Last week the three men dove into the social messages they received as children. This week the three of them dive deep into their teenage years and open up about what they experienced during young adulthood. Each men's story is different, but the men of color find they lacked the feeling of choice while growing up. Their exposure to violence was based on where they lived, and their choices on getting out of those neighborhoods were slim.
The three men continue their conversation to cover masculinity and the lack of emotion that is conditioned with it. Each man could relate to the other when they told their stories of growing up and being able to show emotion. They have found that as teenagers they did not talk about their feelings with their friends, and as men now they can realize they didn't feel comfortable opening up to certain people.
We are so happy to share this amazing podcast with you. Anuar, Devon, and Martin will be back next week to close out their discussion around becoming a new man. We hope you enjoyed your holidays this weekend, and we wish you an amazing new year!
