“I see that men are more confused than ever about what it means to be a man and how to interact with other the other gender.”
The apparent disagreement between men and women on significant issues is often fueled by societal and external influences that portray a gender war. However, this is a misrepresentation. If men and women engage in open, respectful dialogue, they would realize that they share similar life experiences and challenges, fostering mutual understanding and reducing perceived conflict.
“Besides social media, there is also this narrative which is co by both uh right-wing and more conservative and more and very leftwing uh feminists that pit men against women. These are narratives that are very unhelpful, and they uh seem that if men uh if women are to progress, men are going to feel worse, which is not true.”
Research has consistently shown that the key to happiness and wellbeing is healthy relationships and a supportive community. Therefore, it is crucial for men and women to recognize the value of each other’s perspectives and experiences. Gender equality and societal harmony can only be achieved through mutual understanding and cooperation, not through perceived threats to one gender’s progression over the other.
