The Imperfects

NOTE

Embrace Strength and Sensitivity

Recognizing and valuing assertiveness in children can be a source of pride while also highlighting the speaker's own struggles with self-assertion. The shift towards celebrating strong, assertive qualities in boys is contrasted with traditional views of masculinity that often diminish sensitivity and empathy. This conflict stems from personal childhood experiences and societal norms. Additionally, the correlation between the advancement of women's rights and the rise of toxic masculinity underscores societal insecurities about dominance and power. Understanding these dynamics is crucial in redefining masculinity in a healthier way.
