Jack Tuckner, Esq. was a Panelist at Women’s City Club. The panel examined how society’s changing responses to several issues of feminism has affected a man’s definition of himself, and whether a reconstruction of gender roles, over the past thirty years, has occurred because of or despite the women’s movement. Other questions posed to this panel were: How are men balancing career and family? Are they now facing the same pressures as women? Can a man be a feminist?

including:
• Masculinity, personal and professional relationships
• Power dynamics and leadership roles
• Family and parental involvement
• Equity and equality
• Media stereotypes
• Workplace policies
