Students who “identify as male” <em>(<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/26/opinion/pronoun-privilege.html?_r=0">not exaggerated</a> - id.)</em> were shown a docudrama film about masculinity. The film, titled “The Mask You Live In,” was part of the lessons warning students that the notion of masculinity comes with harmful side effects, he said. ...following the film, the group of students engaged in a small discussion about how the film made them feel. <strong>Additionally, the student moderators “attempted to tie Sandy Hook and the Aurora shooting into being a result of toxic masculinity,” Goodman said.</strong>[/quote][/quote]
