masculinities

Masculinities refer to the various ways society and culture shape what it means to be a man. They encompass different behaviors, roles, and expectations associated with manhood, which can vary across cultures and over time. Recognizing masculinities helps us understand that there isn’t just one way to be a man, but many, influenced by personal experiences and social contexts. This concept encourages us to consider how ideas of masculinity can influence behavior, relationships, and well-being, and promotes healthier, more inclusive understandings of gender identity.
