Dr. Kgamadi Kometsi unpacks the paradigm shift that has taken place in how we perceive and define the concept of ‘masculinity’ and introduces us to the diversity in masculinities.
“Looking at human reality as heavily dependent on genetic inheritance, though with some value, represents a gross injustice to the complexities of humanity. Within this context, I believe we have long entered a period in which talking about masculinity as singular undermines what ‘masculinity’ truly symbolises.“
“Essentially, believing that there is only one way to being masculine is not rooted in fact …..”
“… being male is one thing, but being masculine is another.”
“Some men can pull off being feminine quite successfully.”
“Constitutional democracy has opened a space that encourages people to live their lives as they prefer.”
