Shout out to Michael Kasdan, quoted in USA Today, highlighting what we at GMP are trying to do by creating spaces where these conversations can happen, growing pains and all.
“Part of the problem is that we have a pop culture that reinforces those old (macho) notions of masculinity,” says Michael Kasdan, director of special projects for The Good Men Project, a social platform that invites men across the country to share their stories around fraught topics like rape culture, racism, sexism and consent.”
As we continue our conversation on how the patriarchy is harmful to men, I hope to bring up this article on our Conscious Intersectionality Convocast. Join in the conversation by signing up here.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
