In this episode Nick and Kelly talk about the Me Too movement, gender norms, and deconstructing how men and women are socialized. WHY does it feel like more young people are embracing the idea of gender as a spectrum? In a 2022 article by Pew Research they found that 50% of 18-29 year old young adults surveyed said that a person can be a man or woman even if their gender expression doesn’t match their sex. Nick and Kelly share their thoughts on the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to gender norms, as well as share their personal stories about putting in the work to deconstruct how we think about them and what we want for our own children. We close with some recommendations for books to read and other resources to lean on.
