I had an excellent conversation with Elinor Moshe a few weeks back and it just got released in her podcast. Check it out!

The conversation delves into the complexities of masculinity in today’s society, exploring the impact of societal changes, feminism, and the challenges men face in understanding and navigating their roles. It also addresses the perception of privilege, the influence of feminist movements, and the role of family structures in shaping masculine identity.

We discuss the motivation behind exploration of masculinity, the societal pressures to fit into the ‘man box,’ and the need for a more inspiring narrative around toxic masculinity. We also delve into the concept of toxic masculinity, its historical context, and the need for a more fruitful discussion. Additionally, I shared some insights on the importance of men’s circles and self-reflection in understanding and redefining masculinity.
