Simone welcomes Dr. Nikos Apostolopoulos, to delve into a thought-provoking discussion about masculinity and its definition in today's society.
Dr. Apostolopoulos challenges the traditional notions of masculinity, highlighting the importance of tapping into one's sensitive side and embracing a mosaic of emotions. They explore the impact of societal constructs, such as the Hollywood portrayal of masculinity, and how it has led to a disconnect between men and their true selves. The conversation also touches on the concept of toxic masculinity and the need for men to understand and connect with the feminine.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Society has created a construct of what it means to be masculine and feminine, leading to confusion and a lack of understanding of true masculinity.
- Masculinity should not be defined by societal expectations or Hollywood portrayals, but rather by being true to oneself and embracing emotions and sensitivity.
- The patriarchal society has suppressed the feminine and created a disconnect between men and women, hindering deep connections and understanding.
- The societal construct of success, such as the American dream, has influenced the definition of masculinity and created pressure for men to conform to certain roles and expectations.
BEST MOMENTS
"We have been conditioned, especially me coming from a Greek family, we have been conditioned to be the tough people, the heroes, the embodiment of sacrifice for the family."
"A real masculine person is a person that actually digs deep down inside and brings out the emotions which are a major part of our lives."
"We're too confused nowadays. We're too far gone to be able to sit back and say, this is a male role, this is a female role."
"I think it's great that women can go out in society and work and contribute and, you know, create the environment where they're able to earn for themselves because it makes you feel special."
