Why telling men to just 'talk' won't work - George The TinMen
Manage episode 390173003 series 3385247
Get ready for a deep conversation with George from the TinMen, a bastion for men's advocacy!
Join us as we dive into some of the issues facing men - some you've heard of, and others that rarely make it to the mainstream conversation. From the alarming rates of male suicide to the underperformance of boys in education and the ignored victims of domestic violence, we leave no stone unturned.
Packed with insights and thought-provoking discussions, we tackle the demons haunting men's mental health and societal expectations of masculinity. George highlights how the convention of 'be a man' often suppresses men's emotional expression, leading to mental health calamities.
We emphasise the need for safe spaces for men, where they can unburden their hearts and seek help. We also critique the popular concept of toxic masculinity and its often vague definitions, showcasing how it impacts social issues.
Fasten your seatbelt as we steam into the realm of heated debates. We discuss feminism, the role of men in parenthood, and the contentious idea of men having the choice to opt out of parenthood.
We also reflect upon the 'attention revolution', where extremity often overshadows reality. This enlightening conversation ends with George sharing the main platform for his work, Instagram, and urging listeners to support his cause. Join the journey, be part of this crucial conversation, and help us shape a society that welcomes everyone.
