About this listen

 In this episode of CultureHug, we dive into the hidden realities of men’s mental health—where stigma, silence, and societal expectations collide. From domestic violence and depression to toxic masculinity and emotional suppression, we explore why many men struggle in silence and touch on the intersectionalities of queer, trans, straight and BIPOC men related to mental health.

We break down the science, the cultural roots, and the lyrics of Dax’s music to examine how vulnerability can be strength. Plus, we share practical ways to support the men in your life and explain why men's mental health is a feminist issue, too.
