Empathy, Masculinity, and Mental Health
This chapter examines the disengagement of young men from political issues and challenges the notion of empathy as a zero-sum resource that detracts from gender equality efforts. It delves into the stigma surrounding men's mental health, the impact of mentorship, and the societal barriers that discourage men from seeking help. Through discussions on male-specific challenges and the importance of supportive relationships, it advocates for a collective approach to addressing the complexities of men's struggles in contemporary society.
