What is Masculinity to You?

What is Masculinity to You?

A man on Facebook is offering a service for men to appear "heroic" in front of their partners. For RM100, he lets them beat him up after he pretends to disturb their partners at a public place. This got us thinking about the idea of masculinity so we delve into this with our listeners, asking them how they think about masculinity, and whether the ideas they were raised with has evolved as they grow up.
