A conversation with a new friend named Hans, who has been co-facilitating the Berlin Men's Group for four years, doing self-initiation work with men for over a decade and recently founded Zigmal, a psychosocial support service for men in Berlin. We talk about our personal stories around and understanding of masculinity and men's work, especially in light of more recent social trends and discussions around issue of gender and sex.
Because of threats Hans has received for speaking out on this issue, I am leaving off his last name here in these notes and in the recording.
