Why do we need to talk about men?
How the so-called βman boxβ can inform male behaviour. We delve into the box to reveal its contents.
Many men believe their gender is under siege from a welter of criticism about male attitudes and behaviours. Not everyone accepts the idea of a masculinity crisis, but this programme looks at the concept of the βman boxβ β a set of attitudes and assumptions which many males struggle to deal with. Artist Grayson Perry joins the discussion.
