On this week's episode, we dive into the complexities of boyhood and manhood in the context of modern societal expectations and cultural nuances. Building on our previous conversation about womanhood, we explore how the idea that “boys will be boys” influences upbringing and emotional development. Through a critical discussion of emotional self-regulation, impulse control, and societal gender biases, we challenge stereotypes around masculinity. Join us as we unpack the effects of privilege, the "patriarchy," and generational conditioning on both boyhood and adulthood, questioning how these factors impact relationships, dating, and self-worth.
