Wounded Masculinities — Health, Control, and Identity (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores Wounded Masculinities by Valerio Quaglia as a systems-level examination of how masculinity adapts under chronic illness and medical surveillance.Rather than focusing on individual behavior, the episode analyzes how health becomes a moral obligation, how self-care is culturally coded, and how men reclaim status through performance, discipline, or resistance. The focus is structural, not therapeutic.🎬 Watch the MiniExplainer (visual companion on YouTube):https://youtu.be/KkM4B0Pvz2A📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/XGn0MyafD20❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerceptionNon-Medical DisclaimerThis episode is not medical guidance.
