Societal Expectations and Social Media

In the meeting, we started by discussing the societal expectations placed on men, using the whiteboard to brainstorm ideas. As the conversation shifted, we talked about how social media influences these pressures, highlighting the constant bombardment of images of men with "perfect" bodies—tall, muscular, and with ideal proportions. We reflected on how this shapes our view of masculinity, with the rise of toxic masculinity, the misunderstanding of stoicism, and the harmful idea of trying to be a “real man,” which ultimately leads to men being disconnected from their true selves and well being.
