Traditional masculinity lies on five pillars:
- You are weak if you show emotions;
- You have to cope with everything yourself;
- Avoid feminine choices!
- Be aggressively dominant!
- Real men don't like gays!
There are other ways to be a man, and yet - in present pop culture it is not easy to spot the ways how. This will be a discussion of what it means to be a man in modern society. Particular attention will be paid to the ability and the need to ask for help in difficult life situations.
