Esther Perel Instagram – I’m very interested in writing or thinking about masculinity because I think that the 20th century is when women made tremendous changes, and the 21st century will be when men adapt to those changes that women have made. Throughout history, we’ve seen masculinity as natural, uncomplicated, a given. But if it was that much of a given, I don’t know why masculinity always has to be defined, redefined, and proven. Men are constantly told to “show you’re a man,” “prove you’re a man,” and “don’t be emasculated.” So masculinity isn’t often a given, but rather, a very fragile identity that is often hard to acquire and easy to lose. I explore this topic and the many facets of masculinity and the experience of manhood with @menshealthmag. Follow the link in my story to read on.
