about the conversations
Most men are taught to stay in control and stoicism is seen as strength and sometimes, it can be.
But often, it’s also a coping mechanism from a traditional script where the stereotype of “men don’t express” or “men aren’t emotionally mature” stems from.
The question we want to explore is simple:
Do these gender scripts only restrict men, or do parts of them actually support their mental health too?
We don't know and it's exactly why we ask you join us.
This conversation isn’t about blaming culture or defending it. It’s about hearing men’s lived experiences and unpacking who these expectations serve, who they hurt, and how they shape real life; families, friendships, dating, workplaces, and especially moments where things fall apart.
