Boys Will Be… Daniel Principe on Raising Good Men | Unpacked
How do we raise good men while the headlines keep getting worse?
After the alleged “Cornell 7” case and the death of a Sydney teenager after suspected sexual choking, Steven Miles and guest co-host Di Farmer, the Member for Bulimba, sit down with youth advocate Daniel Principe. Dan has spoken with more than 70,000 young Australians about masculinity, respect and relationships.
Dan explains what boys are really seeing online, from looksmaxxing and the manosphere to violent porn and “make me a sandwich” jokes that start in primary school. He also covers why boys shame each other for being kind and respectful, and how parents can start the conversation without the shame. His advice: “You’re competing with a $97 billion industry. You haven’t failed as a parent. Just ask them.”
They also discuss footy role models, affirmative consent laws, the under-16 social media ban, and why raising the next generation takes a village.
Plus: Dan’s mortadella, pistachio cream and rocket sandwich.
