Are we as marketers failing boys and men?

ARE WE FAILING BOYS AND MEN?

Rachel, a white woman with dark hair, stands on the Creative Equals Stage.

The panel tackling the state of masculinity at this year's RISE hit a nerve: How can we as marketers play a role in creating more diverse portrayals of men and masculinity?

One of the biggest threats to gender equality is the regressive attitudes of young boys and men. According to a study from the Unstereotype Alliance, men are more likely to hold stereotypical views of gender roles, and younger men even more so. 40% believe that it's a man's job to earn money, and 51% believe women should work less and devote more time to family.

This is a crisis unfolding. And that's why this talk, on this topic, might be the most important thing to come out of this year's RISE. We have made the whole talk freely available on our Youtube. Watch, share, and take action.
