Redefining Masculinity | Breaking Stereotypes and Embracing Change

Mxnzplain

In this episode of Mxnzplain, hosts Kabelo and Lebogang explore the evolving concept of masculinity, emphasising being the best version of oneself rather than conforming to societal expectations. Kabelo shares his journey of changing to fit traditional masculine norms, while Lebo discusses the impact of his father's "normal masculinity" on their household. They delve into the roots and effects of toxic masculinity in South Africa, how it extends to men devaluing other men, and its link to men's mental health and high suicide rates. Tune in for personal stories, expert insights, and practical advice on embracing a more holistic and authentic masculinity.
