the 8th mots international women's day and this year's choose to challenge theme asks us to call out inequality while building a more gender in cornwall social science research a deeper narayan believes that when changing their behavior is key to achieving that in her new podcast she explores men's experiences how to miss school work focuses on how they see themselves that power that bodies and sexuality so is rethinking masculinity the keys to gender inequality in india joining us to talk about this deepening ryan host of what's a man podcast recent dani he is the co-founder of men against violence and abuse in india or so known as my eva and a fish out to roger he's the co-founder of dream a dream an organization that works to empower young people to reach their full potential hello everybody i have to ask this diva you've been doing that research

what is a man what is a very. i was surprised to find out how many men despite the fact that they believe their staunch allies in staunch believe was a good equality still give very traditional or stereotypical definitions limited definition of a bad rich includes being strong big muscular the power big charge not being emotional and if i was to summarize it would be not to be a woman wow to be like the opposite for showing that you have a shower see you nodding and you were in depots polkas what did she tell you to persuade you to be in the pocket asked. much to say to be. really for me it was. the the i get to explore my own story.

privileged man from an upper caste a plus no sexual identity growing up in india explore my own patriarchal upbringing and explore my own gender. what i was just yet just difficult it was really really i followed michelle's career for the last 8 to 10 years and what really attracted b. was convinced me that he was the right person for the episode on power is because i was exploring we use the word power a lot right but what does it be and what does it mean to men and even boys 7 and 8 year 9 year old boys at night see. c.e.o. of. of his organization dream a dream shift very radically from going from a very muscular masculine notion of power in terms of being in charge and leading

from the head to someone who are shifting and aligning his leadership style to be more empowering because his entire organization is about empowering children and youth. kids that we know completely and we think we know better than them so that's why i thought he would be here was the perfect person to to feature in a man who's very confident in himself i don't think michelle has any issues around his masculinity what he had issues around his leadership and so i thought that's what made it very interesting and powerful to reach every show and talk to him and show him and he says yes even though i had no idea what he would say yeah what i think that you know what that's what i love to reship about this pop culture was that it was almost like the secret lives of men that we were going in to men's eyes and they were talking about their lives and their bodies and their sexuality her

reach. this is a great question to ask but from as an indian man do indian men even have that conversation is it unusual what people did. so you know i put see that masculinity is in a crisis situation and the sad part is that many men not talk of these does engine. or even as a state you don't get up there if there's a billet of spaces on the station related to the gender based violence gender based discrimination on women. which is toxic masculinity and doctors argue discussed so you don't see that such conversations are much needed when it happened and you know since you asked of all what it means to

be a man in india so i think one of immediate thing is the moment a baby boy is on in india the key thing which applies to him is entitled to the privilege. and you know that out. of what it needs to be a man you've. got it. so they're not good speech or this thing that the traditional dominant masculinity which you find in india one is related to paul formants a man has to all form of media stages of his life yes sure that the wider he. is a big no achieve and sort of protect so different roles people form the moment he's unable to perform he does about what does.

well to ask yourself for into that because essentially none of that. and so what happens the expectations or the society and the different arms of society that a man has to have been no thrill by deal book so what happens to men were not able to provide what happens to men who are unemployed for a longer time what happens to them then they feel peace of dejection feel yours you not agree it is stages of life so they are supposed to be always i've been known and therefore on. the plus see that as a man who do you have example this talk of the farmer's suicide often the economic reason this cited as the reason for obama's not might want young men d. was assigned the whole family said that you'll be using this psychological the

reason this is not economic that was of fumble. for one your do you know he's not owning and things as it is 30 years that what sort of man i am i'm not able to provide and not be able to take care of others in the family including my children and elderly so what happens is that my goal. and get this expectations on men and therefore the toxicity is seen in as people will still accept ition of emotions are not able to achieve you going to depression going to frustration you not go into a shell and that's when that's when you say it was becoming taht said that there is something that you prefer. a plan for example when you're also a little girl to talk about what's sad is that is that what a brain does is out adele does and it just goes on and on another. i want people to

hear this from the podcast as it says from a very young age how successful are how secure ideas out. have a listen. i'm going to read you a few words and you tell me whether these are very words of good strong. powerful and. beautiful yet aggressive. loving. crazy easily yes. yes. i hope in 20 years time you can do that again and then all of them will be go go go go go go but right now it's not the chaos i've years. what do you take away from that it's really obvious the little girl. herself but then what do we learn about men and boys from that it's just that the

importance of social norms she comes from a highly educated family in fact her mother's nanda derian the father stays a tool that if gender their gender norms if the norms of how boys behave and how girls behave it's everywhere it's not just in the family you absorb it almost from the atmosphere from the air it's everywhere so i list these. subtle cues as. her dish was saying it's stuff that bert and list the shift we're not going to see big cultural change i think the 2nd thing i want to say is that all that we're talking about is as maybe there's a difference in degree but it's equally true in the u.s. as it is in india there's still a strong boyfriend preference especially amongst men in the us than there is for girls and when you do any drawing tests or any tests in the u.s.

about who's a leader 80 to 85 to 90 percent draw men including women. so it's really an outcome of patriarchy and the fact that. deep images about men as again her was saying men as providers mendosa protect. men as everything despite education has not changed which is why i focus on the middle class rather than the poor because we always look at the poor as the problem not the middle class but if we can change we who have everything can change we who already believe in gender equality that all the people your your you listen to in the port augusta all men who say we believe in gender equality and i believe them that they believe it get great quantity so it's going below this and seeing what changes let me just bring in the shall. i know you are best thing but let me just

bring in the shelf essay on a value chain this is shame matthew shane says there are plenty of societies and subcultures that all sentient met charcoal such as caroline where does masculinity fit into this situation a mass a fish out let me just tell a little bit of hillsides a tiny bit is that you change your style of management to become more feminine deliberately south so this is a good question for you go ok i don't so it's an interesting exploration like everything her asian people are saying and relating back to my own story because i grew up in a very typical patriarchal home you know i could come home from school and sit in front of the television. and just watch television unfold came to me my empty plate was taken away while my sisters had to go into the kitchen and my men might all be upset at work i only dad had to do because you know i had to be the protector of my

sisters couldn't go out in the evening. dinner lace messaging started becoming my identity and i took a lot of those identities from home. my immediate environment from school into my workspace into my leadership style that it was always about that i have to show up as a leader i have the vision and i have to take the team along i am the one in the front and the team is behind me. all of us possibilities of success and failure live with me so i cannot fail. and i use that in the way i built my team i built my organization culture and it didn't work i ended up working like 6070 hours a week i ended up creating a toxic culture in the organization maybe it was this external image of me estas inspiriting social entrepreneur who sacrificed possibly successful corporate career to come up in social change inside the organization and people found it very

difficult to work with me know i would be someone who would send out emails to be actioned at 3 am in the morning and expecting a response at 4 am and then begin terribly toxic and it wasn't working for me and that's what led to one burnout but also an exploration of what does it in my identity of who i am and how i'm showing up at impacting me and the larger culture in the organization so then the doctor led to a conscious exploration of what are the other qualities i have that could really be not sharing that could come from a space of because i was great with kids i would create that young people for the work that we were doing i was extremely great a good listener when i was with young people but i wasn't the same as a leader so i had to become more attentive to the work that i am doing i had to get out of the performance or how to just talking about and move into a space of

a 10 to city and that said i started exploring my feminine leadership style or what we call today a facilitator of leadership style which is more or going back walking to the. that didn't stay in the game. more about listening to the league more about creating safe spaces more about creativity having my own creative practices i started exploring or intrigue as a greater practice which i didn't know i could miss out on your last success story now that you know as many. rather than a mass. i believe so i believe so much more successful today i mean if i just look at the organization between changes back to working about 3000 kids a year today we work with 3000000 kids across the country. so there's been a lot of unlocking of leadership potential in the organization in the community that we work in in the bay area building that it is about young people in the 21st

century this should everything across the organization so i have a question. and this question comes from sad at the lani and it's really about lost connection to violence to. let's play the video so i think it's unfair to genetically label the gender treats of an entire country we are a 1000000000 people when streaming space but like any other part of the war gender traits that are conveyed in commotion media do perpetuate the idea that masculine aggressive men are more attractive desirable successful i think we've reached a point when many commercial actors will justify sexism and violence in films by saying that this is a commercial film this is what viewers want this is how my producers will money 100 t. do you think still about gender roles in india contribute to gender based violence

in the country. that age old question defines starts. first of all the question agree completely that the steerer types may vary within the country but i do believe that a lot of what we heard the little girls say holds across because i've asked this question over and over again and again based on research done in the us the pattens are very similar divided into masculine and feminine and i think the my thinking on what leads to gender violence has become more refined as a result of spending the last year and a half and this is i think the central reason for violence it's actually twofold one is both her and we shall have talked about there's entitlement and there's power and the 2nd has to do with emotions that in talking to

psychologists and psychiatrists and talking to men in as talk about northern india that anger men expression saying anger is tolerated and expected but men expressing sadness is not and so when emotions are repressed and you feel explosive and you're the one who society has given us a sense of entitlement and power and there are no consequences when you hit the 1st time that's what i think leads to because till very recently it wasn't opposed because women were taught to be silent and be quiet and so it's not just violence against women it's violence against other men if you look at violence the overall ratios and the numbers in terms of violent crime and so on to suicide. so violence

against themselves violence against women well and against anyone seen as weak because the laws are there but the immediate consequences in everyday life and neighborhood men to continue doing that without consequences. oh. so you know the one point i want to tell that. is there in india and it is also that in the vested in your book but what distinguishes. how deeply entrenched it is in india because all for $5.00 or 5 subsystems. which again forces ideas about what it means to be a man and these $45.00 subsystems include family as an institution then

education as an institution religion as an important institution. and of course the next one is media soul and you know if religion in hinduism for example is 5000 years old so that means or what the school maybe your then send should ease the ideas of what it means to be a man in bastar from one generation to the other so that we're stocking up on the cream markers of what it means to be a man and forced plan they said was a foreman's mad. achieve all the 2nd market is of this taking that he wants to show that he is of your old man and he takes a risk and challenges and caught a lot of good that we need to do while it's so why hasn't indicated at all possible it forced expectation the forced markel that you have to achieve all of you know if you're not able to have been walking

a bridge to achieve and you have created in your own eyes as a man what does that have to is while it's violence on sale or why don't. you know so i find that it's the league up of emotions. which including the bar was telling. of sadness be. you know the judge so that is ok some questions. orm the doctor comes from their diet mean you don't the. was almost like a silent getting back being sighted here right it's like the inside like you're running from inside out don't mark men have you don't mark yeah sure they are all full and the one you just want to hide. them to let me show this is this is nischelle. thank you for watching how does a cost system factor into what we've been talking about is

a major element for gender discrimination in india and the 1st official the show do you feel qualified to to to answer that of course you're indian they're qualified i like to take on advice do you think that's a factor. it does absolutely. there are so many different layers of intersectionality get this gender this cost this religion. you know in old world and young people example of the refocus on developing life skills in young people and we're talking about young people growing up and wondered ability in it but a city in many of them coming from cos they're considered lower down the order now you build these capacities for them to show up at their identities with dreams owning destroyed even faster asians and then they enter systems of job market and all the open cities that when environments that we're living environments. and in the system those cultural barriers and just to make anybody issue out now you have

young women showing up a job interview was and the 1st question there is one is of course gender the 2nd is cost and the minute big deal we were probably from an upper class fare lasers that this woman comes from a lower cost the likelihood of getting a job goes down. and the same it is read the way you build relationships. the marriage market books the biggest consideration for me when i moved into the social sector and the biggest what is my bet is was that they would be a woman or a family billing demanded they go to to me and that's how it starts laying out the cost actually is at the intersection of cost and cherokee a lot of these complex issues start playing out i have to say gentlemen and we can talk about. such a fascinating conversation especially when constable talking about themselves talking of the mosque ripping off the mosque i love it this summer that you do in

the podcast and you ask for rapid fire questions and you is subject to all the men to stand by describing yourself in one question do you thought it. if you want to see my son and once a month. kyung lah is live at the fire curious back to back one thing you like about yourself i can renew my passion one thing you dislike about yourself i'm continually read nearing my fashion updates to tell your mom about your 1st kiss your 1st crush. through late. day now we're getting spicy and now it's the end have a look here on my laptop what's a man in a t. in india is the call cost to take a look at that and of course dream a dream this is how rich she's project and it's a vicious budget. is her project or was he asking to take the painting
