Published: March 18, 2019, 1 p.m.

b'This week\'s episode looks at the harm both men and women suffer from traditional definitions of masculinity - that is, the "man box" - and the ways both men and women would benefit from redefining masculinity. Times have changed, can our collective expectations of masculinity change as well? It\'s not clear that seismic change will happen any time soon, but younger generations are providing hope for incremental change, that eventually will provide men with access to a fuller version of masculinity.\\u2029\\n\\nResources in this episode:\\n\\nUSA Today article by Alia Datagir, \\u201cMen pay a steep price when it comes to masculinity.\\u201d(https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/03/31/masculinity-traditional-toxic-trump-mens-rights/99830694/)\\n\\nTime article by Jack Myers, \\u201cYoung Men Are Facing a Masculinity Crisis.\\u201d (http://time.com/4339209/masculinity-crisis/)\\n\\nEmily Moon, 1/11/2019 article, \\u201cNo, Psychologists Aren\'t \'Declaring War\' on Traditional Masculinity."
