Episode 11: Should Boys Learn to Cry?

It’s a truism that our world is more polarized than it has been for decades. How do we resolve the tensions that inevitably arise between friends, families, or neighbors? Norann, Peter, and Bernard talk about their experiences with conflict in community. And then, what to make of concerns about “toxic masculinity” in our culture? A discussion about models of true manhood.
