Jordan Stephens: Why London men need to be vulnerable
What is toxic masculinity?
In 2018, in a personal film for the 大象传媒, Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens said there was a culture of "toxic masculinity" and men are punished for feminine dress codes and mannerisms. He said the lack of intimacy men have with themselves and others "manifests in quite a destructive way", and he spoke out about the numbers of male killings and suicides.
5 years on, 大象传媒 London's Eddie Nestor has been speaking to Jordan about the nature of "toxic masculinity" now, and why he thinks vulnerability is vital in order for men to connect with each other.
