US American educator and activist to end violence against women Tony Porter shares how he was socialized into the Man Box, how he had suffered in it, how he had pressed it onto to his 5-year-old son, how he had succumbed to the man box call pretending to sexually abuse a 16 year old mentally ill girl to be accepted as a “real” man in the gang, how ashamed he was about not being able to speak the truth and to act honorably, to act as a gentle man. After having grasped the tragedy of a world in violence and abuse — he turned to promoting a gentle world for both men and women.

Don’t “act like a man.” Break free of the “man box.”
is Tony Porter’s call to all men.
