#6 Women, men and the whole damn thing with David Leser

“It’s up to us, it’s up to men, we need to step up.” In this podcast, I speak with David Leser, multi-award-winning journalist and author of ‘Women, men and the whole damn thing,’ about Australia’s current cultural reckoning in wake of the Brittany Higgins allegations, those brought against the Attorney General, and the stories of sexual violence and disrespect coming out of Australian schools.

We consider several questions: Why and how should men step up? What are the causes of toxic masculinity and how do we benefit from addressing them? What is the relationship between the problem in our schools and parliament?
