What if society gave men permission to be vulnerable? ( news.harvard.edu )

We need to wind down “the traditional male”, i.e the silent soldier, the quiet labourer, the defeated trell, that bangs on his chest and lashes out in violence because of the societal muzzle put on his face.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands of years, of indoctrination, training, suppression and shaping of the male as nondescript fodder for coleseum, as the breadwinner, as the nameless fuel for the machine has lead us to a point where we will probably spend a few decades, if not a century, working on this problem alone.
