How patriarchy affects Men's Mental Health;

1 Emotional Suppression in Patriarchy - Men's mental well-being suffers as societal norms discourage them from expressing vulnerability and emotions.

2 Burdens of Breadwinning - The expectation for men to be primary providers creates mental health challenges, adding pressure to meet societal norms.

3 Emasculation Anxiety - Within patriarchal norms, a rigid definition of "real manhood" based on strength, dominance, and emotional resilience leads to anxiety when men feel they don't measure up.

4 Sexual Role Expectations - Men's mental well-being is impacted by societal demands for sexual aggression and a prescribed notion of masculinity.

5 Struggles with Social Isolation - Patriarchy contributes to men experiencing social exclusion, which adversely affects their mental health.

6 Relationship Strains in Patriarchy - Patriarchal norms hinder emotional connections, resulting in strained relationships and impacting men's overall well-being.

7 Caste and Patriarchal Chains - The intersection of caste and patriarchy intensifies the mental health struggles faced by men, adding layers of complexity to their challenges.

8 Fatherhood Dilemmas in Patriarchy - Fatherhood, influenced by patriarchal norms, poses unique challenges that affect men's mental well-being, impacting their roles and expectations.

9 Heteronormativity and Mental Health - Adverse effects on men's mental well-being arise from heteronormativity, imposing rigid societal norms on sexuality and creating challenges for self-expression.

Let's celebrate and normalize the strength it takes to prioritize mental well-being.
