0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me.
0:14.7	And I'm Laura Owens.
0:16.2	We're excited to talk with psychologist Michael Reichert on this episode.
0:22.2	Michael is the founding director of the Center for the Study of Boys and Girls' Lives at the University of Pennsylvania. And Michael
0:27.4	has been described as a leading researcher of the journey from boyhood to manhood. He's the author of a
0:33.3	new book on that topic called How to Raise a Boy, the Power of Connection to Raise Good

1:45.5	question, short answer your question is, I just think it's high time. We applied a rigorous lens to
1:51.7	how we are helping boys in our nurture of them. How has boyhood changed from my mom's generation
1:59.7	and from your generation to mine?
2:02.7	Yeah, it's a great question. I actually think that the gender equality movement has
