125. Johann Kurtz: Be a Man

Johann and I get together to discuss boys, men, and the problem of the feminization of our society through the lens of Walter Ong's "Fighting for Life."

[Note: if you are listening in “video” format, you will discover that at around the 1h20 mark the sound will start cutting in and out. If you listen in “audio only” format — click the headphone icon to the left of the video to switch — you will not encounter these problems.]

The “Man Question” is a big subject with no obvious starting point, so Johann and I waded in and came at this subject from various angles and vectors with Walter Ong’s book, “Fighting for Life: Contest, Sexuality and Consciousness” as the anchor while folding in insights from his other major work, “Orality and Literacy.” We hope you will enjoy this somewhat meandering conversation.
