The Man Box is a teaching metaphor about the way boys / men are socialized to view masculinity, women, and girls. Paul Kivel and the Oakland Men’s Project gave birth to the conceptual underpinning of the “Act Like A Man Box”, creating a central part of men’s work with boys and men. Tony Porter’s decades of work with men in his organization, A Call to Men, has furthered these ideas and made “The Man Box” – a globally recognized phrase and teaching tool.
