Today, Skin Deep will be discussing sexism from a different perspective. Enjoy!

Additional Commentary

	Our group decided to focus our ISP around the social and cultural issue of sexism. The members of my group centered their media pieces around how sexism affects women of varying ages. Alternatively, I concentrated my media piece on the ways in which the other half of the population is affected by sexism.
When sexism and similar issues are discussed, males are often shut out of conversations. I believe that that is unjust and that the animosity for men brave enough to come forth on how they feel despite the stigma associated with lacking masculinity, should not be savagely berated. That culture of attacking victims is one women should be well acquainted with. We should realize how regressive it is to regurgitate sentiments used on us back to others. While the reaction is understandable, it does not promote or elevate the lives of anyone. 
I divided my podcast into three section. The first section is an interview with a male author. I honed our exchange to deal with the concept of masculinity and what it entails. Additionally, I made sure that the character I created to interview was of a minority group and was therefore able to gain insight on how the issues of sexism and masculinity affect black males specifically.    
The next section dealt with current issues through case studies. A concerned mother called in and relayed a story that although seems largely fabricated, was a true story. The story comes from a post made by Reddit user ohboythisisit on a thread created in 2016 for men to post their experiences with sexual harassment. The thread is filled with many other cases of sexual harassment towards men making clear that is it a reality, one that I wanted to include in my podcast. Following this, I read a section of an article by the Guardian that shed light on domestic abuse of men in relationship and commented.
Finally, I finished the podcast with my own opinion making sure to include a call to action. My call to action was directed towards women, urging them to change their mindset when it comes to sexist remarks and ways of thought pertaining to men.
