... Education functions as an instrument that facilitates the integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system. On the other hand, Hierarchical dualism based on philosophical thinking caused by the violence perpetrated by men against women and nature (Adamiak, 2022;Applin et al., 2022;Burrell & Pedersen, 2024;Kimani et al., 2024;Li, 2023). Human attitudes toward nature are primarily motivated by self-existence, even if they seem to acknowledge the holistic existence of nature (Adhikari, 2022). ...

... (2022, p. 6) Stark (2007) and others (Barlow & Walklate, 2022;Myhill & Johnson, 2016) emphasise the centrality of gender in relation to criminalising this behaviour, arguing that CC most frequently involves men using "social norms of masculinity and femininity … to impose their will" (Stark 2007, p. 6; see also Westmarland, 2015). Moreover, although CC can be experienced by all genders (Donovan & Barnes, 2019;Walklate et al., 2023, Westmarland & Burrell, 2023, experientially, it is strongly related to gendered power dynamics which reproduce power imbalances and reinforce gender norms (Harris & Woodlock, 2019). However, how to translate such experiences into law is the subject of ongoing debate. ...

... Notwithstanding this point, men's participation in global efforts to prevent or reduce men's violence has continued to expand incrementally over the last four decades (Barker et al, 2007;Messner et al, 2015) as men and boys are increasingly (re)framed as essential constituents in comprehensive efforts to eradicate GBV and to promote more equitable gender relations (Peacock and Barker, 2014;Jewkes et al, 2015a;Tolman et al, 2016;Casey et al, 2018;Westmarland et al, 2021). This reflects a key argument of this article. ...

... For example, emphasis is often placed on the role of boys and young men in challenging sexist attitudes and harmful behaviours among other boys and young men. There can be difficulties entailed if boys and young men feel unduly blamed or unfairly maligned, which may lead to defensiveness (Burrell, 2020;Flood and Burrell, 2022). The key here is taking an approach that addresses wider contexts and empowers boys and young men to make sense of social and cultural norms and the ways that they and others are affected by and can address the problems around them. ...

... However, men's direct and structural violence remains a severe and systemic problem around the world (WHO, 2021), and the empirical evidence on efforts to engage men is mixed overall (Flood, 2019). As a result, scholars and practitioners continue to advocate for more creative, impactful, and accountable approaches to working with men (Casey et al., 2013;Macomber, 2015;Pease, 2017;Westmarland et al., 2021). This article explores how podcasting, and in particular, pro-feminist approaches, might support such efforts. ...

... Another relevant key finding was the phenomenon of disassociation, where the male participants dissociated themselves from violence against women by perceiving it as an issue that pertains solely to the perpetrators and not as a broader concern involving men in general, and in turn viewed themselves as the superior protectors. This finding is consistent with previous research (Burrell, 2023). ...

... This is reflected at a systemic level; for example, in the recognition of 'coercive control' as a crime in 2017 (Brennan & Myhill, 2022). Social movements such as the 2017's '#MeToo' sparked awareness around issues of sexual politics, even influencing educational policy for primary schools (Maricourt & Burrell, 2022). At the same time, the rise of the misogynist 'incel' movement, which refers to the self-proclaimed involuntary celibacy movement (Thorburn et al., 2023) and the proliferation of graphic online pornography, combine to influence negative views about women as property (Sharpe & Meade, 2021). ...

... In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, some studies have reported expressions of masculinity that weakened traditional gender role differentiations at the household level, boosted cooperation rather than conflict and violence, and improved male participation in domestic work and childcare (Bühler et al. 2021;Carlson et al. 2022a;Karadeniz and Çakmakcı 2021;Zossou 2021). Similarly, Barker et al. (2021) and Baral (2021) suggest that the pandemic presented an opportunity for some men to embrace previously unexplored aspects of masculinity. ...

... Stephen Burrell (2020) demonstrates this problem in a study of methods of prevention of violence against women, in which he finds that one of the biggest barriers to this prevention is what he labels 'disassociation', where men perceive themselves to not be a part of the problem because they are not themselves performing violence, which does not acknowledge complicity. His suggestion is therefore that 'this could be aided by a greater understanding and critical appraisal of how male agents of change engage in political masculinities' (Burrell, 2020: 37), further listing what this might involve, notably, being 'accountable to feminist women -and engaging in mutually supportive and critical relationships with other pro-feminist men' (Burrell, 2020: 53). ...

... It should be noted that feminism is diverse, with different starting points. Burrell & Flood (2019) argue that even though there is some disagreement with certain feminist movements, this does not mean that men have the right to dictate the feminist movement. Therefore, men's involvement is conditional, paying attention to women's safety and is not intended to take over the political position of leader of the gender equality movement from women's hands (Rihi & Poerwandari, 2023). ...
