Ep 20 | The Double Standard of Male Vulnerability | Miles Apart Podcast

In this episode of Miles Apart in the Common Room, we dive into the trending topic that’s been making waves on Twitter (X) and Instagram — the viral post from popular influencer Maraji, responding to a man who shared his emotional experience during his wife’s pregnancy.

While some people supported the man’s honesty, others criticized him for expressing himself publicly. This sparked a larger conversation about masculinity, emotional vulnerability, and societal expectations, especially in the context of marriage.

Join the trio as they unpack the double standards around men showing emotions, the tension between tradition and modern understanding of gender roles, and the importance of compassion in conversations about mental and emotional well-being.

It’s one of those episodes that hits deep and makes you think about how we truly view men and vulnerability in today’s world.
