How to “Be a Man” (Ep. 23)

This timely episode tackles an important topic that I’ve tried a few times to speak about. For the half of the population who are male, how are we supposed to “be a man”? In this episode 23, I make an attempt to answer this question using the same analytical lens through which I’ve dissected how we are all supposed to “be an adult.” The concept of masculinity is evolving, and traditional definitions centered around being a provider, protector, and procreator are becoming outdated as women can now fulfill these roles independently. The real battle is against oneself rather than against women or other men. Discussions around toxic masculinity does not provide constructive role models for young men to emulate. Role models for healthy masculinity are scarce, with examples like Mufasa from “The Lion King” and Keanu Reeves being cited for their positive traits and authenticity. Societal norms around gender are largely socially constructed, and men can redefine masculinity in ways that break away from outdated conventions. Be aware of your inherent power and strength, using it to uplift and support others rather than to intimidate or harm. Being a good man is synonymous with being a good person, regardless of gender. Identify role models who exhibit desirable qualities and strive to emulate them in daily life. Everyone has a unique path to happiness and success, and it’s essential for individuals to recognize their potential for growth and improvement over time.
