"5 Stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This documentary and “MissRepresentation” are some of the best psychological and sociological documentaries I’ve ever watched. The dynamics of how gender is socialized and the impact on psychological and emotional development in people, via violence, harmful ideology, “proving gender”, the psychology of dehumanization, moral disengagement, moral injury, crime, assault, and so many other intertwined societal issues stemming from this. As a person with a bachelors in psychology and a minor in sociology; and a masters in clinical mental health counseling, I wish more people knew the information presented in these films. These films break down so much accurate information from psychology and sociology, that NEEDS to be well known and discussed for our society to change for the better. "

"This was a fantastic documentary that gave way to how boys and men wear a mask in society to showcase societies definition of masculinity. "
