About this listen
"Every time we choose compassion the world gets a bit better.” - Lee Chambers, Male Allies UK
"It really hit home for me—if this is what we’re allowing to be revisited, what message are we sending to young boys?" - Jo Phillips, The Woman Behind The Women
In this very first episode of The Chat Womb, Jo Phillips sits down with Lee Chambers, founder of Male Allies UK, for an insightful discussion on male allyship, masculinity, and the challenges men and young boys face today.
They unpack how societal expectations shape masculinity—spoiler alert: it’s more than just action figures and football—and why education is crucial in fostering healthy relationships, consent awareness, and gender equality. Lee shares powerful anecdotes from his work with boys in schools, shedding light on the double-edged nature of online communities in shaping young minds.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about gender equality and the role men play in creating a more inclusive society. Get ready to challenge your perceptions and rethink what it truly means to be a man.
