Keeping Democracy Alive with Burt Cohen
After the Winter of Trump: A Masculine Spring?
The former president embodied what our guest calls confined masculinity: old cages locking men into highly limited macho roles. January 6th was a prime example of this. In the new book he co-authored Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection Ed Frauenheim talks of men’s liberation using five Cs: curiosity, courage, compassion, connection, and commitment. Unlike old models, the 21st century successful workplace is inclusive, welcomes input and is team oriented. Fast learning is necessary, so admitting mistakes is vital to success. And Frauenheim explains how President Biden is an example of the liberated man, a part of hidden sea changes going on.
