The Good Guy Guide - EQUALITY

By taking an honest and critical look at male culture in our society, particularly as it relates to domestic violence, this initiative is designed to shift paradigms and invite men to be part of the solution in ending domestic violence. It is part of the ”It’s Time” initiative of Lexington, Kentucky.

Hosted by Devine Carama this episode features guests: Vice Mayor Dan Wu and TV personality Andrew Shayde discussing equality.

We talk a lot about equality. But do we practice it? How has the baked-in notion of the “weaker sex” affected our culture? ‘Boys will be boys’ mentality. What messages do boys get growing up and how does this contribute to our problems today?
