Can I kindly ask all the men in the room to close their eyes for the next 10 seconds? And as you do so, kindly look back to the last time you felt the most like a man. Think even deeper. When was the last time you felt the most masculine? Now open. For most of us, the last time we felt the most like a man was perhaps when we sorted the house rent without any contribution from the female gender. Aha, I see someone there. For some others, it's the last time you gave mommy money and tried to prove that you are ...

Core Argument - The redefinition of masculinity is needed, shifting from strength and dominance to vulnerability, understanding, and self-awareness [7][8][12] - True masculinity involves recognizing one's limitations, seeking help, and being able to express emotions [12] - The current misdefinition of masculinity leads to leaders who cannot lead themselves and communities that are weak despite appearing strong [9][10] Pillars of Manhood - Stability is crucial in a fast-paced world, emphasizing consistency over fleeting excitement [14] - Accountability requires men to take responsibility for their actions and apologize when wrong [14] - Responsibility to self involves taking ownership of one's actions and not shifting blame [15] - Vulnerability means embracing one's inner self and living despite shortcomings, rather than suppressing emotions [15] The Importance of Character - Character is essential for sustaining success, as hard work alone is insufficient [16] - Character underpins accountability, ensuring actions are driven by integrity rather than manipulation [17][18] - Vulnerability, coupled with character, leads to freedom and responsible action towards oneself and the community [19][20] Societal Impact - Raising boys with the right values is crucial for building strong families, communities, and nations [22][24] - The future depends on men understanding their limits, knowing when to rest, and building sustainably with character [21][22] - Society needs leaders who can lead themselves, fostering a community built on values and virtues [25]

Societal Expectations and Gender Roles - Society places higher expectations on men and boys than on women, leading to an unwritten curriculum about how men should be [1] - Boys are taught to be strong but not whole, suppressing their emotions and hindering their humanity [1] - Men are conditioned to postpone their grief, and society often invalidates their feelings [2] - Aggression is celebrated, while vulnerability is shamed, molding boys into armors instead of human beings [2] Impact on Men and Society - Broken men raising families can lead to violence being mistaken for power [1] - Men may struggle to express their true emotions, leading to broken leadership in various sectors [1] - Men are not excused for not having money in materialistic societies, leading to pressure and unhealthy relationships [4] Solutions and Recommendations - Society needs a new revolution of reprogramming boys, giving them permission to feel and validating their fears [2] - Fathers and male mentors should act as mirrors and guides, teaching emotional literacy and the ability to apologize [3] - Women have a responsibility to hold space for the men in their lives, creating a safe and non-judgmental environment [5] - Emotional intelligence should be embedded into the curriculum, removing the shame that men are socialized to feel [5] - Focus should not be solely on women's programs, as it unintentionally excludes and stereotypes men [5]

Mental Health & Masculinity - Traditional masculinity norms (provider, stoic) negatively impact men's mental health [2][3] - Suppressed emotions in men manifest as silence, exhaustion, and anger [3] - Men are twice as likely to die by suicide and have substance-related disorders [6] - One in five men will experience depression in their lifetime [6] - Men are three times more likely to die from alcohol-related issues [6] - Trauma or war zones, men bear the brunt of post-traumatic stress disorder [6] Societal Impact - Societal expectations create "emotional handcuffs" for men, hindering emotional expression [7] - Emotionally wounded men negatively impact families, leading to confusion in boys [7][8] - Workplace burnout, stemming from suppressed emotions, harms economic creativity and focus [8] - The issue is developmental, not just mental, requiring societal shifts [8] - Redefining masculinity involves compassion, vulnerability, and seeking help [10][11] - The world needs present men, not perfect men, who have the courage to heal [12]

[Applause] Think back to when you were 14 years old. Who was the person that you looked up to the most. Who did you want to be like, the role model in your life.Take a moment and picture them. Was it your dad, your mom, someone famous. maybe a sports coach.That role model shaped who you wanted to become. And whether you knew it or not, they shaped part of who you are today. So, here's the question I asked myself.Would the boy I once was look up to the man I am today. Let me be very clear. This isn't a messa ...

I remember the first time that I was told to man up. I was 7 years old. My father looked me dead in the eye and he asked me, "Are you a man or a mouse. " I was seven. What does that even mean? From that moment, I realized maybe the way that I'm presenting myself, the way that I'm acting, it's not man enough. But I had to learn if this is my father and this is my example, he's supposed to teach me how to be a man. See, the way that I express myself, those emotions, and the way that I genuinely just showed up ...

But some manly problems are undeniable https://t.co/KOeHBvUhU6 ...

According [Music] to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, men commit 90% of all homicides worldwide. 90% of all murders committed by men.
