"In 2020, there were more mayors called Thomas in large cities than female mayors in Germany"

Under the heading "Toxic masculinity - dropout program for beginners", a workshop took place on 12 June, which was led by Christoph May from the Detox Masculinity Institute on the premises of the HSZG. May gave an insight into the examination of questions about current ideas of masculinity and the associated social conflicts.

At the event, various points and perspectives were listed under the main topics of "men's alliances", "male fantasies" & "critical masculinity", which are in the context of eliminating power imbalances. It became clear that patriarchy and the associated privileges of men are always in the background of all social dynamics and should be reflected upon by them in order to create equal rights and a more diverse living environment.
