The video above is a collaboration between Aba and Preach who mostly do reaction videos to cultural issues and Shan Boody who delves into discussions about relationships and sex. The video above focuses on the weird double bind men are forced into by the wider culture and people in their lives with zero concern or forethought into how being more vulnerable affects the men themselves. I’d be interested to hear people’s takeaways or disagreements with the points made in the video as there’s interviews with both men and women on the topic of men expressing vulnerabilities.
I don’t think I’m articulating myself well, but that’s not entirely what I’m trying to say. But I do think there’s a difference between how women are vulnerable with each other and how most men are vulnerable. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but the former version seems more nuanced and I think if men could be like that then it might be better
