One positive I have noticed in entertainment – men hug each other.
While I have seen it on TV and movies in recent years, I think it is a fairly new phenomenon. Handshakes and high-fives have long been acceptable male interactions. It's really nice to see men start with a handshake, pull each other in for a hug and a strong pat on the back.
I've also seen fathers giving sons a kiss on the head. These are excellent examples of what we need to see more of in the media. Hugs and kisses aren't exciting and adventurous, but they can help find solutions to problems.
Netflix DVD recommendation – Necessary Roughness which used to be on the USA Network. Lots of examples of positive, masculine interactions.
