Ah, accountability. It's a tricky subject because it's so much more convenient to look outside of self and expect other people to change.
Here at Odd Man Out HQ, we just watched the controversial documentary about men's issues, The Red Pill... it was powerful.
Perhaps the saddest part in the whole debate though is the fact that we don't seem to be emotionally mature enough to be able to hold two seemingly contradictory things at the same time — acknowledging that yes, women are often disadvantaged and have often been violated or wounded emotionally and psychologically... and also that men too are also disadvantaged and have often been violated and wounded emotionally, too. Pain is pain. We don't need to compete to see whose pain is worse.
That's what Nige and Ell explore in this conversation: accountability, ambiguity and what some next steps might be to truly help close the gap and move the conversation forward with compassion and empathy.
"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."
