Masculinity Crisis

A masculinity crisis refers to a societal feeling that traditional ideas of what it means to be a man—such as strength, independence, and emotional resilience—are being challenged or devalued. This can lead to confusion, frustration, or identity struggles among men who feel their roles or expectations are changing or disappearing. The crisis often reflects broader shifts in social norms, gender roles, and cultural expectations, prompting debates about masculinity's meaning and how men navigate their identities in modern society.
