The Masculine Myth
VIDEO Above Cisco Cole – The Masculine Myth at Ignite Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.
“Masculinity is rooted in traditional thinking that we need to break from. I heard things like Boys don’t cry and Men don’t feel pain.”
“I proved my masculinity through criminal thinking and actions, narrowly escaping incarceration. As a young man, I had very few ways to express my discontent and frustration with life. Like most young men, my frustration was expressed through action. “
Once I started raising boys and working with men and boys, I was able to recognize the dangers of toxic masculinity. (Exerpt from the above video)
