Masculinity: phone-in

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Masculinity: phone-in

Are ideas of masculinity changing - and what are the consequences? We hear from listeners.

Are ideas of masculinity changing - and what are the consequences for men in society and in family relationships? Jane Garvey talks to listeners about their views and experiences.

Are our ideas of masculinity changing - and what are the consequences for us all? What does society expect from a man in the twenty first century? Has it ever been a more confusing time to be a man? 
We talk to listeners about what expectations they have of what it means to be a man. What is a man's role in the family and in society? Are 'manly men' being unfairly judged and looked down on? Is it harder to 'be a man' when roles are less constrained, or is it easier? What's it like growing up as a young man now and what's it like bringing up boys?

Presented by Jane Garvey
Produced by Jane Thurlow.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
