Unveiling the Silent Struggle: Men Facing Societal Pressure in India
Author : Richa Tiwari
Abstract :
This article examines the significant societal pressure on men, often overshadowed by discussions on women's gender norms. It explores how traditional masculinity standards impact men's behaviours, affecting their mental health, emotions, career choices, and relationships. Additionally, it addresses how societal pressure intersects with factors like race, sexuality, and socioeconomic status, presenting unique challenges for different groups of men. By analysing research and case studies, it highlights the pervasive influence of these pressures and advocates for challenging and redefining gender norms to create a more inclusive and supportive society for men to express themselves authentically.
