Men's Conversations on Masculinity
A 17-year-old boy and some downshifting alpha males have ignited discussions around the concept of good masculinity in today's society. Their conversations have emerged as a counter-narrative to the often toxic portrayals of masculinity depicted in mainstream media and politics. This shift seeks to celebrate a different form of masculinity that embraces emotional intelligence and vulnerability, in stark contrast to the more aggressive and outdated ideals presented by figures like Donald Trump. By normalizing these discussions, young men are encouraged to express their feelings and reject harmful stereotypes surrounding what it means to be masculine.
