It is one thing to have your view of manhood influenced by your father, it’s another altogether to have it influenced by your older brother. Siblings have a stronger influence on each other by virtue of proximity. The power of role modelling is magnified by proximity and usually no one is a greater role model to a boy than their older brother. In as much as our siblings can learn great things from us, they can model toxic behaviours from us as well, especially when it comes to the question of manhood which is intricately linked to identity. In this episode we tackle the literal notion of brotherhood. How do our brothers help or harm our conception of manhood? Sticking to our tradition of keeping it intimate, we invited all of our little brothers to recount their experiences of us.
