About this listen

 Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Dr. Thomas Verney, a clinical psychologist and author, about the complex crisis facing men today, emphasizing that while not all men are affected equally, many are struggling with identity issues and joblessness, particularly young men without formal education or specialized skills. Together they discuss the debate around toxic masculinity and the challenges men face in adapting to changing societal roles and the rise of right-wing politics among young men. Young men are struggling with identity, relationships, and societal value, with declining graduation rates and increased suicide rates among young men.

Thomas speaks about the evolving definition of masculinity in a rapidly changing society, how societal changes, gender roles, and biological factors influence men's development and experiences, while examining the impact of toxic masculinity, incel culture, and the decline of traditional male roles in teaching and leadership. He concludes about the importance of active parenting, the need for more male role models, and the challenges of modern romantic relationships in the digital age.
