War on Masculinity

Diane Abbott to warn of British 'masculinity crisis' 

The male role of the past as provider and earner has come under pressure from consumerism, she will say, leaving Britain's boys growing up in a culture of "hyper-masculinity", which is fuelling misogyny and homophobia.
To tackle this "masculinity crisis" she will call for a strengthened role for fathers in family life, with father-friendly parenting classes, meaningful parental leave for men and more conversations between fathers and sons about manhood.
