**Men, Power & the Push for Progress — A Candid Conversation with Social Justice Icon Paul Kivel**
Why should men give a damn about reproductive justice, women’s rights, or the #MeToo movement?
What does it *actually* mean to be an ally — and are we doing it right?
How do we invite more men into the work of equity without pushing them away?
In this powerful, no-fluff episode of *The Evolved Caveman*, Dr. John sits down with legendary social justice educator, activist, and author **Paul Kivel** to tackle the messy, meaningful questions at the intersection of masculinity, privilege, and power.
With nearly 50 years of experience dismantling racism, sexism, classism, and violence, Paul brings a deep well of wisdom and real-world strategies for men who want to show up *better* — as partners, allies, and leaders.
We dive into:
– Why men must be *active participants* in the fight for gender and racial justice
– What authentic allyship looks like beyond hashtags and virtue signaling
– How to bring more men into the conversation without shame or blame
– What parts of masculinity are worth keeping — and which need to be torched
– How to raise boys into men who are emotionally aware and socially responsible
– The daily impact of race, class, and power on how we show up in the world
This is way more than a conversation — it’s a call to action for any man ready to step up and evolve.
