"Armed and Dangerous: Navigating Asian Masculinity in the Military and Firearm Industry" Episode 2

Before we start this podcast, we would like to give our condolences to the Asian families all over the world who have suffered a lot through violence and firearms. This podcast was recorded at the end of the 2022 and we are posting it now. Please note that the views and opinions expressed in this episode of our podcast are those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of the podcast or its creators. The topic of firearms and gun ownership is a sensitive and controversial one and we encourage listeners to approach it with an open mind and respect for different perspectives. We also want to remind listeners that firearms should always be handled safely and responsibly and in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws.

In this episode of our Asian Masculinity Podcast, we will be exploring the complex and nuanced experiences of Asian men in the military and firearm industry. We will delve into the ways in which traditional notions of non asian masculinity and asian masculinity are challenged and reinforced in these predominantly male-dominated fields. We will also examine the cultural and societal pressures faced by Asian men in these industries, and how they navigate and reconcile these expectations with their own identities.

Additionally, we will also explore the term "soy boy" and its usage in the context of Asian masculinity. We will discuss the origins of the term and the ways it is used to stereotype and marginalize Asian men. We will also examine the impact of this negative stereotype on Asian men and their perceptions of themselves and their masculinity.

Join us as we hear from our guest, Dave (https://www.instagram.com/bietdongquan2.0/) who have served in the military and been his own trail and tribulations, as he navigates and gives other Asian men advice to navigate through his western scope. This will be a thought-provoking and enlightening conversation that will challenge your perceptions and understanding of Asian masculinity in the context of the military and firearm industry.
