Masonry and Gender Dynamics | Seekers & Shifters | Episode 22

Send us a textWelcome to another thought-provoking episode of Seekers & Shifters! In this episode Michelle sits down with Dheeraj Chand, an insightful guest who delves deep into the complex themes of equality, gender differences, and the evolving roles of men and women in both personal and professional spheres. Together, Michelle and Dheeraj explore the unique challenges women face, such as pregnancy and the existential threats it can pose, and how many women in the U.S. are now surpassing men in education and breadwinning roles. The conversation also sheds light on neurological and cognitive differences between genders, driven by hormonal impacts, and the subsequent influence on social behaviors and expectations. Dheeraj shares personal anecdotes that illustrate the subtleties of individual experiences within broader societal generalizations.Michelle's curiosity about the spiritual and mystical aspects of Masonry opens a window into this ancient organization's structure, which, according to Dheeraj, is comparable to Protestantism's bottom-up chapter mentality. They discuss the gender dynamics within Masonry and the reasons behind men's lesser involvement in spiritual and personal development spaces.Explore how organizations like the Masons use language and structure to engage men and foster vulnerability, and why certain male-dominated spaces still hold significance in modern society. Dheeraj's reflections on the importance of fraternity and mutual respect, even amidst disagreements, provide a holistic understanding of these evolving cultural landscapes.Join us for an enlightening discussion that bridges historical legacies, current social dynamics, and the forward path for mutual understanding and respect.**Timestamps:**00:00 - Welcome & Introduction02:15 - Dheeraj Chand's Background and Masonry Legacy10:30 - Gender Equality and Unique Challenges18:45 - Economic Role Reversals: Women as Breadwinners24:00 - Cognitive Differences and Hormonal Impacts31:40 - Social Expectations and Personal Anecdotes39:15 - Dynamics in Male and Female Spaces45:00 - Inclusivity vs. Exclusivity in Organizations 51:30 - Masonry's Global Impact and Local Practices55:40 - Historical Job Monopolies and Modern Equivalence1:02:20 - Importance of Fraternity and Learning in Masonry1:05:00 - Closing Remarks & Future DiscussionsConnect with our guest Websites:siegeanalytics.com Dheerajchand.comConnect with MichelleInstagram: @michelletoscale Facebook: www.facebook.com/michellelareeTiktok: @michelletoscaleIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for notifications on upcoming content!
