A Call to Men

This video of a talk by Tony Porter at a TED event is a must watch for men. I think it addresses a lot of issues. Talks about the man box, things boys are taught are characteristics of 'real men'.  Some of these things are cool but some are just wack. Anyway before i get ahead of myself, please watch and feel free to comment. Thank you for watching....
