Modern masculinity
is quite different with old day ones. Millennial men chose
going to Yoga rather than fishing, and choosing a green juice rather than a
beer. The young men, aged 18 to 29 were surveyed. The result showed that lees
than 30% feel they are “completely masculine.”
However, 65%, more
than twice that baby boomer generations feel they are “completely masculine.” Masculinity
of older generation that men must not reveal their vulnerability, sensitivity
and emotional feeling.
Reasons
Change
Schroeder (2017),
based on her interviewed with Alex Rodriguez, a TEDx speaker and influencer who
has 100 Million online viewers, suggested 7 reasons younger men change their
view of masculinity.
The reasons
include younger generations should know themselves at personal level. This lead
to own authentically; Millennial men are not threatened by increasing of women
role in society; They do not like to look better than others by un-necessary
competition; They shown who they are, inside and outside without shame; They
show their courage by showing their vulnerability; The honor is commitment to
themselves; and they always looking for new ways to grow.
Pro-active is
keywords by attending educations for better future life. Joining groups either
hobby or professional one are also important, especially to build network.
To
be a Man
Based
on film “The Mask You Live In” (Newsom, Congdon and Newsom, 2015) that young
generations of America struggle to show who they are in the context of
masculinity. There are many words to show what is mean to be masculine in
America society, some of them are don’t cry, man up, grow some ball and be a
man.
Unfortunately, the
film showed that the ideal “old” way to be a man is damaging. To prove this,
the film shows the experience of men from quite different background, where
ideal of to be a man influenced their live.
The statistical
data also provided by film. When they are growing up, the boys lose their “intimacy”
to their peers, fathers, siblings, and even to other children. It is because
“intimacy” is relate to the females, not males. Intimacy together with other characters
such as compassion, and empathy are fundamental characters of health in human
mentality.
Unluckily, adults (men) in America are disconnect with these important characters. Moreover,
the film reveals that more than 3 boys commit suicide every single day. It is
logical, because to be “masculine” boys are so depressing. Finally, the film showed
the masculinity as define by American society (cultures) impacted negatively
on boys and male, then, harming society. Thus, shift should be done for better future
generations.
