It's not for anyone to dictate gender roles, one way or the other. Although it's ironic to note that if a woman gives most of her time to stay at home, look after the house and raise the kids she is considered suppressed, but if she instead works those same hours at a job for a boss she is considered liberated. Each couple themselves decides what the rules are.
So impressed with this video. Thanks, Adam. For me, as a gay man, I hear a call to adulthood rather than masculinity although I would pass as straight if you didn't know me well. Regardless of gender or orientation an adult is strong, self-disciplined, circumspect, vulnerable, respectful and giving. The tropes of masculinity these days are too often contrived and shut-down. What is more they are unachievable for most men. Ask any woman on a dating app how many man-children they encounter in a given week. The recent developments in America seem unlikely to change this disturbing reality. As for hair replacement in this mix, the need for men to feel good about their appearance - to feel confident and desirable - has assumed new importance. Hair loss has long been a source of shame for men. For some guys a head shave gets them on track, but that does not work for everyone. Social media and the prevalence of images there has helped to broaden the male gaze. Now it's not just girlie pictures a man has licence to observe but pictures of other men - often to admire and be like.
@@HairSystemDIY The ongoing conversation about manliness is more important than ever. Look no further than the Pelicot rape case in France to see how ugly toxic masculinity can be. Am reminded of the men's movement that gained some momentum in the 1990s. It sought to explore and enable healthy masculinity. There was a book published in 1990 titled "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the archetypes of the mature masculine", by Jungian psychologist Robert Moore and mythologist Douglas Gillette. This book informed a considerable part of the discourse in the movement. The four archetypes are worth another look in 2024. Granted, viewers come to this channel to learn about hair systems and the help they can provide in terms of self-esteem. But is that all there is - the visual? The man who only has life in a mirror image?
I am liking the evolution of this channel
Thank you ☺️
