When Masculinity Becomes a Cage
A fifteen-year-old boy stares at his bedroom wall, where Van Gogh prints have replaced Star Wars posters. He's plotting how to impress a sixth-former through his end-of-term sketch show, trapped between who he's supposed to be and who he actually is. This isn't just teenage angst-it's the beginning of a lifelong reckoning with what it means to be male in a world that writes the script before you can speak. Growing up means learning the rules, but what happens when those rules are designed to break you? What if the very things we teach boys to become-tough, unemotional, dominant-are the things that destroy their capacity for connection, joy, and wholeness? In a respectable Lincolnshire village, a father looms like a storm cloud. He knocks boys off chairs at dinner. He thrashes his son with his own shorts for no clear reason. He laughs when children fall down stairs because pain is something to be conquered, not felt. This wasn't sadism-it was parenting. In the 1970s, this was what fathers did: worked dangerous jobs, drank heavily, kept order through fear. The man everyone loved at the pub was a different person behind closed doors, and his wife bore the weight of that difference until she couldn't anymore.
