I long to parent in a timeline where we don’t have to constantly course correct for our leaders. Questions that guided our conversation: “What happened in that clip?” “What was the joke?” “Why do you think people laughed?” “What do you think he meant by the joke?” “Are the women’s accomplishments the same as the men’s? Was the effort, the passion for the game, the teamwork that led to the win any different?” “What’s the difference between someone genuinely celebrating you and someone doing it because they feel forced?” “When someone important makes a joke, do you think it influences how other people think?” “What happens when we laugh along with a joke that shouldn’t be normalized? Who gets hurt by that?” #olympics #toxicmasculinity #menshockey #raisingboys
