Redefining Masculinity: Abe Lopez on Supporting Women and Tackling Sexism

I think it lies more within than it does with each other. But I think, like it starts with talking about it.
How can men play a pivotal role in supporting women and challenging outdated gender norms? In this episode of The VulnerABILITY Podcast, host Marisa Donnelly sits down with guest Abe Lopez to explore these pressing questions. Their conversation dives into the heart of toxic masculinity, sexism, and the complex dynamics that men face in today's society.
Abe shares his personal experiences, shedding light on the pressure men feel to conform to traditional roles and the scrutiny they encounter when trying to break free from them. They tackle the frustrations some men feel during movements like #MeToo, where they may perceive themselves as being unfairly blamed for the actions of others. But instead of shying away from these tough topics, Marisa and Abe confront them head-on, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and mutual respect.
They discuss the responsibility of educating each other about gender issues and how genuine conversations can pave the way for meaningful change. By the end of their chat, both agree that progress starts with honest discussions and a willingness to listen. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how men can be allies in the fight for gender equality.
