In this episode of Realistic Happiness, we’re joined by Yor Smit, an advocate for positive masculinity and founder of the Gouden Pad (Golden Path) initiative. Yor brings a fresh perspective on navigating modern masculinity, embracing empathy, and creating safe spaces for everyone. We discuss: - Positive Masculinity in Practice: Redefining what it means to "be a man," embracing emotions, and rejecting harmful stereotypes in favor of compassionate leadership. - The Violence Pyramid: How seemingly small actions, like locker room talk, can contribute to a culture of violence and how to address it constructively. - Navigating Toxic Influences: Yor's personal journey of escaping toxic masculinity and the red pill/incel communities, and his mission to guide others toward healthier mindsets. - Generational Shifts in Masculinity: Exploring why Gen Z is becoming more conservative and how social media algorithms perpetuate stereotypes and misinformation. - Building Inclusive Communities: Practical advice on being an ally to marginalized .groups and creating environments where everyone can thrive. If you’re ready to redefine masculinity, embrace empathy, and create positive change in your life and community, this episode is a must-listen.
