In this episode, Dr. Fraad talks about the re-emergence of the Women’s Movement. Unlike the 1960s and 1970s, the need for basic economic change applies to both men and women together rather than women versus men, one gender versus the other. The American economic boat is sinking: men and women are drowning together. Only a movement unified around class differences and addressing all issues together will have a chance to win the lasting change we need.

Capitalism Hits Home: What's Happening to American Men - Part 1

American men are in serious trouble. Former standards of masculinity as aggression, power, and stoic denial of emotional vulnerability are now widely considered toxic. The economic dominance that white men had with family wages disappeared when American capitalists mechanized, computerized, and outsourced white men's jobs from the 1970s on. Manhood has changed its demands.
American women had a movement behind us when we changed our roles and poured into the labor force . Men do not have that powerful group support. Is it any wonder that all of America's far too frequent mass shootings are perpetrated by men? I hope this pod cast helps us understand men's confusion and suffering and helps to transform it into new human possibilities.

Lost abortion rights and no paid maternity or family leaves keep women from advancing at work as they take time to care for children. Abortion and family leaves are sites of the revolutionary struggle for America’s personal and family life.
