In a recent episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristin Sunanta Walker is joined by Aaron Huey and Maia Huey to explore the controversial Gillette commercial that addresses toxic masculinity. The ad, which has sparked a wide range of opinions, serves as a backdrop for a deeper discussion on gender roles and societal expectations.
Aaron Huey, co-founder of the Firemountain Residential Treatment Center, shares his perspective on the ad and how it aligns with his views on personal relationships and social media interactions. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals, especially on platforms like Facebook, to foster positive and supportive environments. Maia Huey, a senior in college and founder of Sonder Marketing and Events LLC, provides insights from a younger generation’s perspective.
She discusses how millennials and Generation Z are starting to question long-standing beliefs and are more open to forming their own opinions based on diverse information. The conversation delves into the broader cultural shifts that are occurring as major corporations begin to address issues like masculinity and mental health. Aaron and Maia highlight the significance of these changes, noting that while the women's movement has been ongoing for some time, it remains a fresh and dynamic force in today's society.
Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in a meaningful dialogue about the need for balance and equality in gender dynamics. They also touch on the challenges of navigating a society that is still grappling with outdated norms, particularly the resistance from certain demographics who feel threatened by progressive ideas. Ultimately, the episode serves as a call to action for listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and consider the impact of cultural messages in shaping societal values.
The hosts encourage a candid exploration of identity and the importance of evolving with changing times.
