Last week we talked about the importance of men being allies even if they haven’t been perfect in their behaviour towards women, but is there a line to this?

Today’s guest tells us of a time he was called out and ended up having to question his role as an ally to women, and we hear from author and educator Jackson Katz on this dilemma.
