Come and participate in a discussion on the infamous “Boys will be Boys” phrase and the implications of it being so common. Bring your questions, ideas, and experiences with this commonly touted adage. We will examine the implications of this phrase, the connection it has to male and female socialization, the role of this saying in gender inequality, and what it would mean to challenge this sentiment.

Men in Feminism Series are facilitated by CCASA’s (Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse) ManEnough? Program. All sessions are open to everyone.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
