To guys: How many times have you felt that you just aren't man enough for something? Or that you are less of a person compared to a stronger, more popular or more power friend, aquaintance, or even family member? Do these characteristics outweigh other positive ones that you may have such as compassion? Essentially, do you feel like who you are, isn't what you "should" be in the eyes of other men?
And to girls: How often do you feel like you are taken advantage of by a guy? Or that no matter what you do, you feel like you can't compete with men because they seem to be teamed up against you?
All of these are examples of how masculinity effects our everyday lives.
This blog is dedicated to the discussion of masculinity and effects on both personal and community levels.
