Oh, wait: She wanted to know how to LOWER the percentage of men who feel they should act strong
It pays to be careful about how you word things on Twitter, particularly when you’re a progressive advocate trying to drag the country in a direction it doesn’t necessarily want to go;take, for example, the gun control group that inadvertently warned of a homicidal toddler who’d been on a two-year shooting rampage.
On Thursday, Nina Ford of Promundo “engaging men and boys to promote gender equality and end violence against women internationally” tweeted about the #ManBox, intersectionality, toxic masculinities, and the concern that 60 percent of young men in the U.S. agree that they should act strong despite how they feel inside.
Crucial to understand how intersectionality affects the #ManBox. Tune into livestream: https://t.co/R6KQgvSGXs

"Society tells men to act tough even when they feel vulnerable or scared." How can we transform these harmful #ManBox norms? pic.twitter.com/HbCeWzqRqc

60% of young men in US agree guys should act strong even if they feel scared/nervous inside. How can we change that? #ManBox #USIPGender
