Modern-Day Masculinity: The Dark Truth of Being a Man in a Confusing World
Description
Men are breaking silently, and most people do not notice until it is too late.
This Men’s Day conversation brings Shantanu together with Chirag Taneja and the GoKwik team to talk about the quiet struggles that shape a man’s life.
Men live shorter, visit doctors less, hide pain behind work, and carry pressure they never learned to talk about.
Many grow up without strong male role models. Many lose friendships after marriage.
Many feel responsible for everyone but themselves.
Most of this remains unspoken because men are taught to stay strong even when strength is slipping away.
In this episode, they finally say the things men usually swallow.
They talk about exhaustion that has no outlet, about feeling misunderstood in rooms full of people, about why therapy often misses what men cannot put into words.
Watch this if you want to understand the men in your life. Or if you are a man who has been waiting for someone to understand you.
