This week on Inspire Change...Gunter takes a quick dive to start the conversation on why romanticizing patriarchy holds us back.  What happens when we romanticize patriarchy and calling it natural for men? Does that help us grow or hold us back. In this episode you will learn a bit on the 5 pillars: 

1. Territorial
2. Hierarchical
3. Combative
4. Acquisitional
5. Competitive

People say men should embrace these traits and while they sound great on the surface thats just surface level...but if you digger deeper you'll understand the dangers and harm of patriarchy. You will also learn how it actually limits masculinity and the good it does. 

PLEASE NOTE - TRANSCRIPT DISCLAIMER:  If you tend to read our transcripts please note that these are automatically generated by our home network iHeartMedia and so it may get things . In fact we discovered to VERY big errors where one transcripted misinterpreted and transcribed "Patriarchy is making good men great..." THAT IS VERY INCORRECT and the opposit of what Gunter discusses. So please note that we have no control over transcript errors.
