Caring for men and boys. After an encounter with a colleague who told me, "the patriarchy influences everything, it’s everywhere” I decided, in this episode, to focus on Jordan Peterson’s critique of the idea of patriarchy; his critique is in his chapter about Rule 11 in his book, ‘12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos’; the chapter is wittily entitled ‘Do not Bother Children When They are Skateboarding’ and the section I’m presenting here has a sub-heading ‘The Patriarchy: Help or Hindrance?’

And good guy of the week was the subject of a story I heard in the queue at Lidl’s last weekend about an exuberant footballing boy and his super dad.
