We may have lately witnessed a change in the meaning of the phrase a “true” man from an expression of courage and strength to an expression of power and control. But what is the meaning of masculinity? And in your opinion, are men the only ones who practice masculinity on others? In this episode of the Aswatona podcast, Linda addresses these questions and talks to us about the concept of masculinity and toxic masculinity between WANA and the West.
Episode guests: Dr. Nadine Al-Maoushi and writer Jaber Bakr. For further discussion on gender equality and masculinity we recommend Shereen el Feky: Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World; as well as the UN gender equality report for WANA from 2017: https://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/09/middleeast/gender-equality-study-mena/index.html Episode was translated by Bisan Samamreh and dubbed to English by Lina Shannak, Layal Salman and Lukas Auer.
