Hear Me Out: Patriarchy Hurts All Of Us — Including Men

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… gendering, everywhere, all at
once. In the final days of Pride Month, we wanted to turn our
attention to another complicated and contentious facet of the LGBT+
dialogue: gender identity. If gender isn’t a binary, but a fluid
spectrum, what do we do with our notions of sexism, misogyny, and
toxic masculinity? As it turns out, we do very much live in a
patriarchal society — but the truth of how that society operates,
and who it advantages, might be more complicated than you think.
