Exploring The Impact of Toxic Masculinity on Society with Rob Moore


Listen Later

This week Dawn and Tracy are joined by business owner, property magnate, podcast host and all rounder Rob Moore. The three discuss the growing conversation around toxic masculinity and the impact it’s having on society. But what is toxic masculinity, is it a media creation? Is it an easy label to apply to things we don’t like or is there some truth in the term?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Rob and the ladies talk about the idea of toxic masculinity and the roles of gender within relationships and society.
  • Tracy talks about how society is slowly merging the definitions of feminine and masculine and how this might not be a good idea in the long term.
  • Rob talks about his experience of gender in the workplace from running a business  and how he sees men and women approach the same roles from a different viewpoint. 
  • Rob gives his thoughts on what he thinks masculinity is and how, over time, his view on this has changed. 

BEST MOMENTS
“Good times create weak men, weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times.”
“When all is said and done, masculine men are hot.”
“People should be paid for their skill set, not their gender.”
