On February 13, 2019, I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Tony Porter. Tony is the CEO of A Call to Men. He is an author, educator, and social justice activist, who is working to prevent violence against women and inspire men to actively fight against rape culture. Tony began the talk by claiming, “hurt people, hurt people.” We can only start to heal as men and as a culture if men struggle to get out of “the man box.” Men only have their humanity to gain if they step out of that box. If we as men don’t respond to the heterosexist comments of other men, then we are complicit. It was great way to start the day and reflect on what healthy, respectful manhood should look like. Here is Tony’s Ted talk from 2010:
A call to action, led by men, for men
