#Halloween — the one night boys might put on masks to feel free.
It gives permission to become someone else, step outside ourselves, maybe closer to who we've wanted to be. The costume makes it possible. The darkness gives cover.

The #algorithm is raising our #boys & what it's teaching them isn't what we hoped. 73% of teen boys see "digital masculinity" content—fighting, muscles, money. 68% never searched for it.
