Revisiting Toxic Masculinity and #MeToo - Episode 85 - The Oxford Comment by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2023-07-13T14:10:41Z On today’s episode, we explore two recognizable components in contemporary conversations on gender and gendered violence. First, we welcomed Robert Lawson, the author of "Language and Mediated Masculinities: Cultures, Contexts, Constraints," to share how language intersects with masculinity in media spaces and how it may be our best weapon in combatting rising misogyny. We then interviewed Iqra Shagufta Cheema, the editor of "The Other #MeToos," who spoke with us about the origins of the #MeToo movement, how it has been received around the world, and how it has changed—and will continue to change—to meet the needs of the victims for which it advocates.
