What does it mean to be a man? What is manliness? What is “toxic masculinity”? And what do - and don’t - specific body parts have to say about what it means to be male?

Hear from two journalists and authors about how the ideas of manhood physically and socially may be far more malleable than you think.

GUESTS:

• Thomas Page McBee is a journalist, and the author of “Man Alive: A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness, and Becoming a Man” and “Amateur: A True Story About What Makes a Man”
• Emily Willingham is a journalist and the author of “Phallacy: Life Lessons From The Animal Penis”
