Masculinity: The Strength to Be Soft
from Can I Have a Word? | Culture, Identity & the Power of Language
Welcome back to "Can I Have a Word?" — and welcome to Season 2! We’re starting with a word that’s being stretched, questioned, reclaimed, and redefined: masculinity.In this episode, we explore masculinity as a living language — not a fixed identity or checklist of behaviors, but a space shaped by culture, history, and personal truth. We look at how masculinity is inherited, where it harms, where it heals, and how more men are learning to lead with presence, emotional honesty, and self‑definition instead of performance. This isn’t about prescribing a new model of manhood — it’s about listening, unlearning, and expanding the ways we understand strength and control. In this redefinition, vulnerability and power equally coexist.✨ If this resonates, like, share, and subscribe — and join the conversation.Production Team Host/Creator - Carl James Lead Engineer - Josh Wilcox Editor - Walter NordquistLogo Design - Stephanie Cardenas Music - Yennaedo Balloo Hosted on Acast.
