Richard Reeves on Why Men Are Being Set Up To Fail (PT. 1)
About this episode
While women have made incredible strides over the past few decades, men have found themselves stuck in a tornado of confusion and disinformation around what masculinity means. Today, Ryan talks with Richard Reeves, author of Of Boys and Men and President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, about why helping one gender won’t hurt the other, how the educational system is failing men, and what the biggest misunderstandings are about gender dynamics.
Richard Reeves is author of Of Boys and Men, President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.
