• The stereotypes of women has changed significantly in the last 40 years.
• There’s been very little to counteract stereotypes of men and boys.
• Stereotypes shape boys’ lives early on.
• We cannot say that women are limited because of biology, but we still say that about boys.
• When Boys become “Boys” - Judy Chu
• Started out as direct, authentic and able to articulate themselves. Traveled from presence to pretense by way of posturing.
• Inauthentic and less willing to articulate their feelings.
• Conditioning comes from everywhere: teachers, parents, peers.
• A man box study - messages about being a man. Stoic, unemotional, strong, etc. Men more associated with man box stereotypes were more prone to negative behaviors, including suicidal ideation.
• Schools play a profound role in organizing the messages about what Men are.
• Every school is occupied by a hidden curriculum.
• Most educators feel as though they can’t get their arms around it.
• Boys have very little efficacy over the hidden curriculum. Policed by other boys. Often receive subtle and not-so-subtle redirection from adults and other boys.
• Student-teacher relationship and significance
• One-dimensional type of masculinity that is rewarded in school cultures.
• 1500-member study of boys and 1000 of their teachers. Tell us a story about a relationship that went well and oe that didn’t go well.
• So reassuring that the mask can be taken away when they do have a relationship.
• Relationships are transformative in three ways: practically, psychologically, existentially.
