#083: The Masculinity Debate: Crucial Or Toxic?

What does it actually mean to be “masculine”? This week, we cut through labels and buzzwords to build something men can live by. Fact check: most major dictionaries describe masculinity as qualities regarded as characteristic of men... a useful starting point, but it doesn’t tell you which qualities, which is why the debate goes in circles.We unpack traits versus behaviours, real differences on averages (not absolutes), and how context turns raw traits into actions. We chat masculinity across time... protector/breadwinner frames of the past versus modern realities at work, home, and in community, and ask what still matters, what doesn’t, and what needs a rewrite.The goal isn’t to police blokes; it’s to work out some form of compass and unpack why there is so much debate around what this word means.Find out everything you need to know about the 46 for 46 Challenge: https://www.mycause.com.au/page/382055/walking-46-hours-straight-for-46-lives-lost-every-week
