04.01.2022 Research shows there is pressure on men to live up to outdated rules of what it means to be a man. When men can’t live up to these expectations, they can experience negative feelings and emotions and have poorer attitudes. This contributes to anxiety, depression and violence against women. If boys and men can break free of judgement and outdated stereotypes, everyone benefits.
