In 1994, psychologist James Hollis wrote in Under Saturn's Shadow that "men's lives are essentially governed by fear" and that "men live under a conspiracy of silence."
Fast forward to 2017 and there is much more of a conversation happening about masculinity and men, but for the largest part, not much has changed. Men's lives are STILL governed by fear and they still live under what we call "a vow of silence."
It's a bit of a taboo subject unfortunately, as much of the conversation focuses on men becoming less violent towards women or men "going their own way" and cutting women out of their lives altogether.
But what is the vow exactly? That's what this episode is all about — exploring and naming something that many men feel but do not know how to articulate.
Join Nige and Ell for their signature style of conversation: passionate, silly and often intense.
"We believe men are in pain, and when that pain is driven underground, men do harmful, damaging, reckless things to themselves and others. In opening up this conversation, we hope to change the landscape of the conversation about men, giving men the space to voice their struggle without needing to explain the CAUSE of that struggle as depression. The cause, we think, is the vow of male silence... and we believe that it's time to break that vow."
