RE: Sam’s Hangout #117 - “MASCULINITY & MENTAL HEALTH”

You have spoken well, dear.
But some men sometimes too do. Should we say that the expectations that people put in them have made them grow up with the thought that a woman's place is in the kitchen? I'm not trying to divert the topic. But this comment mostly comes from men.
If they want to be free from society pressure, I believe they should work on their mindset too.

It has happened to me countless times. One particular incident that I remembered very well. This guy and I were on a talking stage getting to know each other. I talked about my profession, my skills and my plans.
Then he made that one statement. "All these one wey you dey talk na for kitchen e go still end."

Like seriously 😒 I had to start explaining how I stressed myself every semester in school because I want to come out with good grades and make my family proud, and because you feel you're the head, I should keep my license for your kitchen in the 21st century.
And there are more relationships out there that didn't end well because a man couldn't afford to maintain the lifestyle of her partner.

In summary, all I'm trying to say is that society has done a lot of damage because this tradition of man acting all tough didn't start today.
And I believe it's high time it stops, and if men feel they need to be heard, then they should also help themselves.
