The Strongest Men I Know are Women

The Strongest Men I Know are Women8 oct.56 min

<p>This week on Boy Problems, Liz is angry — and she&#39;s not apologizing for it. In the wake of the Cornell 57 case, she breaks down why women&#39;s rage is no longer remarkable, but the absence of male rage absolutely is. She recounts a wild story from a recent conference where she was asked to moderate a panel on &quot;raising boys into better men&quot; — only to flip the script, give the women in the room (including Malala) an hour of rest, and grill the men instead. Ten years after starting #WhyWomenDontReport, Liz grapples with how little has changed, has a literal menty-b mid episode, and finds unexpected solace in the strength of women and the men who actually show up. </p><p><br></p><p>If this hit you, drop a 🔥 in the comments — and tell us how you&#39;re channeling your rage this week.
