"We have begun to raise our daughters to be more like sons. But few have the courage to raise our sons to be more like daughters." -Gloria Steinam

In this episode, hosts Lois and Stephanie use bell hooks' book "The Will To Change" to frame a discussion the damage patriarchy does to both men and women...and what we can all do to stop it.
