S1E102: 102| Discussing Masculinity

Dr Louis-Adrien Ollu is an osteopath and is also studying in a new method in France with a focus on epigenetics, neuroscience, psycho-genealogy and behavioural science. We have a fascinating conversation about masculinity and the social constructs associated with notions of gender. We discuss the Yin and Yang of masculinity and how traits are often both innate and learned in childhood. Louis shares some of the misconceptions associated with masculinity and we look at toxic masculinity and the effect that this has on society. Louis shares some insight into parenting and the impact that parents can have not only on the development of the child’s personality and behaviours, but also on a child’s health as well.  We explore the importance of education in helping children to develop healthy masculine ideals and the impact that modelling behavior can have on child development. Belief systems are built through education, whether it be from schools, the community or parents and it is important to instill the core values of empathy, compassion, emotional intelligence, listening and benevolence in young people. We discuss the evolution of a child’s sexual identity and the Oedipus complex. We also explore the impact of film, television and social media on the development of the child.  This is a fascinating discussion, especially for parents of boys.
