Every cisgender man has heard this phrase once in his life: "Be a man!" An injunction coming with a panoply of clichés and behaviors. For a long time, this fit the bill as the woman was passive. But with the rise of feminism and gender equality, the traditional approach has been shattered. So, does masculinity need to reform? Or even disappear?
In this ARTE report, Jan Kawelke goes to meet various facets of masculinity. Among Berliners who play American soccer, it is based on honesty of feeling, the strength to overcome obstacles and the desire to show some power over other men. However, when I met with an expert on masculinity, he said that this concept is scandalous because it constantly reminds us of the privileges men have over women. In his opinion, these shackles must be transformed and the stereotypes must end.
Why shouldn't a man have the right to use fruity shampoo if he feels like it? Finally, Jan goes to talk with an altersexual gamekeeper who is regularly confronted in a region far from the capital with people reassured by male and female models. His utopia is one of a world where all can live as they choose without their actions being attributed to a particular gender.
