MASCULINITY IS ALL ABOUT THOSE C’S!

Let’s talk about the C’s of Masculinity! Consensual is a big one, and I talk a lot about Courage, Curiosity and Commitment, but here’s some other C’s words. Which other words can you think of?

[jeff perera @jeffperera]

Masculinity isn’t toxic, bro. It’s about how you accessorize it!

Shout out to Victor Wembanyama!
#Wemby modelled a helpful example of manhood both on and court the court. #greenscreen #NBA #courage #emotional

Things are a mess for people of all genders, especially for women and gender-expansive people. Let's talk about how to get out of the mess we are in as men.

Men and young men today are struggling to find ways forward in everyday moments. Here is something I use to help me navigate Life’s daily ups and downs: The Inner Compass for Men.

Anger channeled in a harmful way
builds walls and breaks down bridges.

Being a ‘good man’ isn’t good enough. It’s time to get the fuck up, men. We must do better, we owe women, young women, girls, and gender-expansive people. #CNN #EndVAW #BetterMan

[jeff perera @jeffperera]

The Impossible Dilemma. The everyday situations we put women and nonbinary folks in as men. Which Men are the Good Men?

Don’t like that question? Don’t like how this hard truth feels? What are we as men doing about it?

[jeff perera @jeffperera]

How can we make the spaces between us and others feel comfortable enough for someone to meet us halfway and call us in?
How will we react and respond?

“I’m not trying to be a great leader. I’m trying to be a great teammate.“ - Vladdy

In being a better teammate to other men and young men, @BlueJays All Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. modelled being a better teammate to women and girls as well.

Look at Me. Look at Him. Look to Her.

[jeff perera @jeffperera]

Vladdy Guerrero Jr. gave us an example of ascending into leadership as a man on and off the field, by looking to a woman - arguably Canada's greatest big moment performer, for inspiration in a moment with all eyes on him.

Let’s acknowledge that doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but if you are striving to be an ally it’s necessary.

‘Having Moral Courage isn’t Easy…that’s the work of being an Ally’.

Let’s kick misogyny and sexism off the ice in men’s hockey.

For people striving to be an ally, we have to constantly self-monitor for signs of Hate still lingering under the skin.

Don’t just nod your head. Nod your head to the beat, and get to work.

Pandemics give way to the rise of Fascism. History isn’t being repeated so much as being remixed. More are recognizing the ‘sample source’ & hearing it all around us.

What can men do to answer a call to action, to help fight the empathy deficit and end the trust famine?

[Higher Unlearning @HigherUnlearnin]

A high value man, indeed.

Men: In this era of Divides, building bridges between us, starts with building bridges within us.

Bridging the divides between ourselves and our humanity. Bridges between so-called ideas of what is and isn’t manly.
