In this essential episode, we go beyond the surface of Santiago Duran's groundbreaking essay, "MASCULINITY: HANDLE WITH CARE." Duran argues that despite talk of "new standards," modern masculinity remains a high-pressure, defensive state. We explore:

• The meaning of the "fragile cage" and the restrictions it places on male emotional expression.

• The societal demand for men to be a "Success Object," where worth is tied solely to achievement.

• The deep-rooted expectation of male disposability and the myth of heroic sacrifice.

• How acknowledging vulnerability is often weaponized as a sign of weakness.

This is a vital conversation for anyone ready to dismantle the burden of silent suffering and foster true, honest connection.

Have you felt the intense pressure to achieve? To be silent? To sacrifice? "MASCULINITY: HANDLE WITH CARE," illuminates the high cost of modern manhood. Duran challenges the notion that masculinity can be "fixed" without first recognizing the deep-seated pain. We tackle the core topics: the cruel paradox of being told to open up, only to be punished when you do; the relentless focus on men as a "Success Object"; and the ingrained expectation of male disposability. This episode is a call to action: to stop defending the "fragile cage" and embrace the power of recognizing your own pain.
