My brother, Siddharth Sharma, recently wrote a paper on Mad Men, exploring themes of masculinity and manliness on the show, specifically addressing Don Draper's character. In this episode, Siddharth and I trace this research to how masculinity is defined today. Having spent much of his teenage years surrounded by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, Siddharth chats with me about the changing definitions of masculinity through the years, paying special attention to gender, sexuality, generation, as compared to in the Madison Avenue 60s of Mad Men.
