Beyond Consent Education: Helping Boys Do the Right Thing

October 12, 2026 | gender (in)equality with Kate Mangino

Teaching boys about consent is necessary. But knowing what the right thing is and actually doing it are two very different things.

TeamsOfMen founder Kip Ioane joined author Kate Mangino and Catlin Gabel School Dean of Students John Harnetiaux for a conversation about male peer groups, social status, accountability, and the role adults play in preparing boys to make better decisions.

The conversation explores what happens when doing the right thing comes at a social cost, why information alone doesn't change behavior, and how coaches, parents, and educators can create opportunities for boys to practice the values we expect them to live.
