The Hockey Canada trial and how we talk to young men
On Monday, closing arguments are set to begin in the trial of five former members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey Team. Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Carter Hart, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged with sexually assaulting a woman known publicly as E.M. in London, Ont., in June of 2018. Michael McLeod also faces a second charge of being a party to sexual assault. All five men have pleaded not guilty. Rachel Giese is the author of the 2018 book, Boys: What It Means to Become a Man. She's also a deputy national editor at The Globe and Mail. Today, she's on the show to unpack what this trial tells us about our cultural understanding of consent and masculinity, and how we can have better conversations with boys and young men by reaching them where they're at.

Men stand at the pinnacle of politics, business and culture. Why are they so angry?
Businessweek The Man Meltdown Won't somebody please think of the men? Actually, it turns out that men, their needs and insecurities are getting an awful lot of attention these days. From the 'manosphere' of bro podcasters partially credited with reelecting Donald Trump to the worrying decline in male enrollment rates at colleges to all the buzz about Netflix's powerful four-part youth crime drama Adolescence, men and their problems are (again) at the white-hot center of cultural discourse. But while masculinity is back in fashion and remains at the pinnacle of global finance, politics and culture, men are still deeply troubled about their place in the world. Data shows that boys and young men are struggling in school and are not well positioned for jobs in growing industries. They're also desperately searching for new role models and fashion icons. And in the most undignified blow, men are having to make room on a perch they once throughly dominated: the bench press at the local gym. Who's thinking of the men? With this special section of Bloomberg Businessweek, someone finally is. Building a Better Manosphere From the Oval Office to online spaces, hyperaggressive manhood is ascendant. But the impulses drawing young men to the manosphere suggest they're after something else. — Rachel Giese '16 percentage points' The average US boy at age 5 is 16 percentage points less likely to be school-ready than the average girl Eight Charts Show Men Are Falling Behind, From Classrooms to Careers The data on how men and boys have fallen behind and on the work opportunities they're missing. — Klara Auerbach Why Adolescence Struck a Nerve Co-creator Jack Thorne talks about social media's role in real—and imagined—teenage angst. — Brad Stone and Reyhan Harmanci EVOLUTION OF THE ALPHA MALE AESTHETIC IF YOU'VE NOTICED A CERTAIN LOOK COMMON TO THE MANOSPHERE, YOU'RE NOT MISTAKEN.
