It's no secret that there's a history of sexism, misogyny and hypermasculinity in sport, particularly in elite men's hockey. In elite sport, masculinity is often defined by glorifying toughness, promoting aggression, encouraging 'bro culture', and upholding the locker room 'code'. But what does this mean for parents raising kids who want to take part in sports like hockey? We put our kids in sports so they can make new friends, get active, and learn about sportsmanship - certainly not to fall into a culture of toxicity and misogyny. Dr. Teresa Anne Fowler, PhD in Gender and Sexuality Studies, breaks down her research into the cultural reproduction of masculinity and how parents can work to make change and protect their kids from unhealthy masculinity in sports. For more on Dr. Teresa find her at https://profiles.ucalgary.ca/teresa-fowler.
