While toxic masculinity is widely understood to be a social reality that affords men privileges and benefits, it is also true that that privilege is sometimes conditional or imposes unreasonable expectations and conditions that most men simply cannot live up to. In this episode we are going to unpack what is expected of men in the context of budding and established romantic relationships and how these expectations are to be managed while in a place of career, professional or financial uncertainty. Our guest today is Itumeleng Merafe, an established professional now but someone who’s known uncertainty and has loved while adulting.
