Dear community members, please join us for a screening of
The Empathy Gap: Masculinity and the Courage to Change
(Thomas Keith, USA, 2015, 70 mins.) on Monday, October 10, 4:30 p.m., Dana Auditorium, Middlebury College with filmmaker Thomas Keith. Q&A to follow the screening.
In his new documentary, Thomas Keith looks closely at the ways sexist and misogynistic messages in American culture short-circuit men’s ability to empathize with women and respect them as equals, undercutting their innate capacity for caring and empathy. Along the way, he draws fascinating parallels between sexism and racism, spelling out how each is rooted in cultural norms that discourage empathy, and shows how men who break with these norms live happier and healthier lives.
