Toby Fraser - Men Explore Their Masculinity in Philadelphia
This is the second installment of Back in America
In this podcast, I explore unique and amazing American stories from my multicultural perspective.
This episode is part of a series on masculinity in America. Here I speak to Toby Fraser a social worker and manager at the Lutheran Settlement House in Philadelphia.
I met Toby at a workshop on toxic masculinity that he has been running for some time now. During our conversation, we speak about his own experience working with domestic violence, gender roles, the impact of Trump on American men, and many other topics around what it means to be a man in America.
From the conversation:
"The system of gender roles that we have just does not work for us. The things that I was taught about what it means to be a man, some of them fit, but plenty of them don't." -- Toby Fraser
"Masculinity and confronting or even talking to let alone challenging other men always feels like 10 words away from a fist fight. So there's a lot of fear underneath stepping forward." -- Toby Fraser
