Gender equality is a thing that most people in modern word are

heading for. But there is still


- Misconception which is: Men are stronger than women
Elucidate: When it comes to this perspective, it is widely held that
men are stronger not only physically but also in the mental well-
being, they are expected to ignore feelings and avoid admitting
vulnerability. They are considered as emotionless human-being that
ignore feelings and avoid admitting vulnerability. To add weight to
my conviction, men have a knack of refraning from asking for
assitance or expressing their true feelings in times of austerity. But it
is not always the case. As a result, my team would be a staunch
supporter of the notion that we should celeberate International
Men’s day.
Idea 1: Occasion to express more empathy towards men
We need to extend empathy to those who appear to least need it. Men
need to fulfil society’s expectations (or the perceived expectations
others have) just like women. It’s far harder for men to be vulnerable
because that is acting outside their prescribed gender role. So, it’s good
to have a day that celebrates male diversity and that reminds us all that
men don’t have to be imprisoned by stereotypes in the way that
women don’t either. We need to provide alternative versions, kinder
versions, more liberated versions that can act as genuine role models
for young boys to aspire to.
