First of all in the video: World Women's Day: Equality is all about
Feminism is a woman's business? Before! We show you how men suffer from patriarchy and benefit from equality.
Many people still think that feminism prefers women and put men in the shade. More precisely: feminism is considered quite unmanly. The opposite is the case.
"Being a feminist does not mean that you lose sight of your own interests as a man and submit to the woman for the next centuries," sofaz.netIn a report why men should also be feminists. We clarify!
This is how men suffer from the patriarchy
If you knew it: in countries in which there is a high degree of gender justice, men live healthier and longer, sospiegel.de. It is not without reason that the term “toxic masculinity” was created in addition to feminism, which has existed since the 1980s.
"Toxic masculinity" or translated "toxic masculinity" describes an unhealthy image of men in society and takes the role clichés to the extreme. There are many examples: it begins when small boys are bullied for supposedly girlish behavior at school.
And ends with the fact that men are at the mercy of increasing pressure to succeed or the pressure as the main supplier. If weakness is considered to be unmanly and being strong than male, this can become a problem for many people.
Men and feminism: That's why commitment is so important
Under the pressure of society, mainly men end up on the street. And this too is a fact: loudspiegel.dethe suicide rate of men is three times as high as that of women. One possible reason is that they tend to use alcohol and drugs instead of help in psychological problems.
Health consequences from "toxic masculinity" and role clichés are therefore not uncommon. "Since pain and feelings are often seen as something that you have to suppress, they often do not take them seriously and endanger their health," explains the magazinekontrast.atIn a contribution about feminism.
Men, be careful: feminism is too for you!
One thing is clear: the concept of masculinity should be broken up. Masculinity in all their diversity is taken for granted. Because then all people and especially those who have so far suffered from the social demands to the male gender.
Freedom of choice and no fear of rejection is relevant for women as well as for men. To spend time with your own children instead of putting your career in the first place to apparently unimportant things, such as the desire for fancy clothing and make-up.
Or the need to take care of your own health and the human desire to show public weakness in sad moments. All of this should not only be reserved for women, but all genders.
