Redefining manhood—one locker room talk at a time

Alexis Jones is throwing in the towel on "locker room talk" -- literally. In this vibrant, funny talk, the advocacy superhero shares stories from her travels speaking to athletes inside locker rooms about sexual harassment and how to better protect and respect the women in their lives from abuse.

Changing the culture around sexual assault requires inviting young men to rethink what it means to be a man and to respect women. In one locker room, after a player admitted he thought it was 'cool to fuck girls,' a simple question—'Says who?'—prompted real self-reflection. Media, schools, and families all play a role in shaping attitudes, often reinforcing toxic stereotypes through ten hours of daily media consumption and 3,000 brand images. True progress demands emotional education, practical language, and making respect for women deeply personal.
