| Summary: | James is caught in a dilemma that can be understood in terms of certain gender prescriptions he is subject to. His girlfriend wants him to 'stand up' more for her, and the only way he can understand this phrase is in terms of fighting or violence, which don't fit with his values. David helps James to deconstruct the ideas that are constraining his choices by going with him on a tour of his upbringing, shedding light on male discourses about being 'tough' and a 'real man'. What does James say that shows his harsh self-critique comes from cultural ideas about 'how men should be?'. How does David help James to see these are ideas, not truth? What does David ask that helps James figure out where these beliefs came from? How does David help James not only identify but also question the ideas behind the claim and evaluate their impact? |
