The documentary “Strengthening Masculinity” is an eye-opening look into the male mindset and how it affects society. It follows two German men, Sven Philipp and Martin Rheinländer, who host workshops around the country to teach other men about women, flirting and sex. But not everyone agrees with their methods. Christoph May and Susanne Kaiser are among those who are critical of these types of workshops, saying that they promote outdated gender stereotypes and a toxic form of masculinity.
