  • Summary

  • My dad died and it made me think about his life and actions. The lies that he was told as a man that he had to uphold in society and how that made him treat people. It makes me wonder if much has changed, but him being dead has also given me a sense of peace because of the abuse.



    Key Takeaways:

    [2:54] My dad looked like he had a normal childhood, but was neglected emotionally

    [7:29] My dad thought he was unloveable and had to be better than my mom

    [8:30] My dad had immense pressure to be a great athlete

    [13:41] Has any of the stereotyping really changed?

    [14:48] Girls play hard to get, you need to push, and real men don’t cry

    [17:34] Dancing is gay, men only want sex, and girls can do anything boys can do

    [19:50] Men in leadership and having a specific path laid out for you in life

    [21:41] Men must be independent, wealthy, not express emotion, and be athletic

    [25:32] Lying comes from a place of fear and wanting to fit in

    [28:46] Life, death, and mortality
