Knights without armor : patterning a men's movement after the women's movement / Aaron Kipnis ; interviewed by Pamela Burton.
Clinical psychologist Aaron Kipnis discusses his call for a men's movement, as presented in his book "Knights Without Armor." He suggests that the newly created men's movement follow the lead of the women's movement to battle double standards which damage males. Boys are discriminated against, he argues, in both parenting styles and educational norms. He argues that competative sports are damaging to a boys development, and that traditionally feminine behavior in a classroom is considered inappropriate. Boys are continually rewarded for maladaptive behaviors such as playing hurt and achieving success at any cost. He calls for men to come together and relearn traditional ways to bring balance into their lives.|KNIGHTS WITHOUT ARMOR : PATTERNING A MEN'S MOVEMENT AFTER THE WOMENT'S MOVEMENT / Aaron Kipnis| interviewed by Pamela Burton. - SERIES: Philosopher stone - Clinical psychologist Aaron Kipnis discusses his call for a men's movement, as presented in his book "Knights Without Armor."
