When Being a Man Means Never Asking for Help
Here's something you probably haven't thought about: men will drive an extra 900 miles over their lifetime simply because they won't ask for directions. It sounds almost comical until you realize what it represents-a profound inability to show vulnerability in any form. When the American Psychological Association issued its first-ever guidelines for treating men, warning that "traditional masculinity ideology" harms men's mental and physical health, it wasn't just an American observation. From China's "straight man cancer" to Iceland's "poisonous masculinity," cultures worldwide are waking up to a disturbing reality: the same system oppressing women is simultaneously crushing men under impossible expectations. Ask a woman what's difficult about being female, and she'll launch into detailed reflections. Ask a man the same question about manhood, and you'll likely get bewildered silence. This blindspot isn't accidental-it's built into how we understand masculinity itself. Gender isn't just something we are; it's something we do. Sociologists call it "performing gender"-imagine daily life as a stage where we follow scripts assigned before birth, rewarded for conformity and punished for deviation. For men, this performance is particularly exhausting because masculinity must be constantly proven.
