Masculinity and Politics: Exploring the Connection Between Gender Ideals and Voting Trends
There has been a growing shift of young male voters towards right-wing politics, driven by feelings of alienation from progressive narratives that often overlook and dismiss their struggles. The right has capitalized on this by promoting hyper-masculine ideals that resonate with this demographic.
This week, I welcome back Ruth Whippman, author of the book Boy Mom, to discuss how to foster emotional connections, have open dialogue and reimagine boyhood to help boys develop healthier and more inclusive identities.
She joins me to discuss:
The noticeable shift of young male voters towards right-wing politics
How the left has struggled to effectively communicate a positive and inclusive narrative for boys and men
That messages celebrating hyper-masculinity have resonated with young men, filling in a gap left by progressive movements

Six Ways to Raise a Resilient Kid
I believe resilience is about teaching children to handle challenges, adapt to change, and recover from setbacks while respecting their emotions. We can model resilience by demonstrating healthy coping skills, fostering a growth mindset, and helping children develop emotional awareness and problem-solving abilities. By supporting them through difficulties and validating their feelings, we empower children to face life's challenges with confidence!
I discuss:
How to model resilience and demonstrate healthy coping skills
That it’s important to encourage children to embrace their feelings
The need to promote problem-solving and support by allowing children to tackle challenges independently, while offering guidance and reassurance.
