The physicality of manhood?

  • Summary

  • We are taught and brought up with the belief that masculinity is something to be embodied, a state of being that requires a certain degree of physicality and can only be achieved by those with the physical prowess to meet this standard. And for those who can’t, well, this core requirement of manhood will always be illusive and so manhood quickly becomes about compensating for shortcomings in your manhood with those constitutive elements you’ve been endowed with. This, we see, is often the cause of much of the violence wrought by men on other members of society - women in particular.


    In this episode, we are going to consider those illusive physical requirements of manhood. Our hosts decipher this perceived embodiment of masculinity, bringing to light a spectrum of ways in which they contribute to the toxic traits that the rest of society (women especially) fall victim to as a result. Join Tumi, Bongani and Thami for another insightful conversation for the learning and unlearning of masculinity as it is understood today, hoping to redefine what being a man in modern society means, and ultimately looks like.
