Chris Green OBE | This House Believes Masculinity Has Failed Men | Cambridge Union

Chris Green OBE speaks as the first proposition for the motion on Thursday 2nd May 2024 in the Debating Chamber.
The second debate grapples with the legacy and future of masculinity. In an age where even the most genuine criticisms of the social expectations of masculinity have led to extreme backlash, we ask whether the core values and virtues associated with modern masculinity can be defended and cherished, or whether our retention of the idea prevents true liberation for all.

Again, this guy is completely replacing masculinity with personality traits. They are NOT the same thing. He's also an insult to every man worth his substance.

We're currently screwed as a society if this is what we debate in the "upper echelons".

Dear Cambridge U, would you please number your debate videos or at least upload them in chronological order? The other place's channel gets it right.

[@ruffryder13]

Wow. This speaker seems to really enjoy talking about how terrible men are in general.

[@mirr1984]

Judging from the videos I've watched thus far, that union has been highlacked by "the mob".

He founded the white ribbon campaign to end domestic violence against women and girls. So ofc he has an OBE, seems like the socialist sort.
