Brian Lear on WNYC and we'll end the week like this.

Ahead of Father's Day this Sunday, yes it's Father's Day this Sunday, not that you forgot

a present, but just saying, we'll open up the phones for fathers of any background to

call in and tell us, how did your father represent masculinity to you and how do you

represent it to your kids? 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, WNYC, 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 9, 6, 9, 2. Again,

how did your father represent masculinity to you and how do you represent it to your kids?

What does it mean to be a man? And how do you transmit that, fathers? 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3,

another way to put it in this era of questioning gender norms and the gender binary,

how are you teaching or modeling masculinity to your kids, maybe differently than your father

taught or inadvertently modeled it for you. Call us at 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, WNYC, 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3,

9, 6, 9, 2. Do you grapple with this, Dad? If you have a specific cultural take on this,

we would also love to hear it. Anything about white, black, Latino, or Asian masculinity,

or more specific, those are very broad categories I know to a particular nationality that you come

from or whatever, that you think about, Jewish or Christian or Muslim masculinity as well,

in the religion context, 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 9, 6, 9, 2, or any kind of cultural take that's

specific to your background, 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 9, 6, 9, 2. Maybe you grew up in a culture

where the older, more conservative take on masculinity was imparted on you. Maybe being macho

was considered not just common, but a positive characteristic. This of course could apply to many

cultures. Maybe you grew up in a religion that strongly influenced your views on what it means to

be a man and a father. I didn't pull a clip, but anybody listening now here, the morning edition,

story yesterday about the Southern Baptist Conference and how they are doubling down on banning

women from being pastors in the Southern Baptist Church and saying it's about gender roles.
