Men The Podcast

Why are men so obsessed with power and being seen in control of everything? Is that what makes a real man? Where did this obsession come from? What impact does it have when it comes to men and relationships? Have you ever heard of the wheel of control? Have you ever been trapped in it? Have you ever trapped someone in it? Is the wheel of power toxic? Can we eliminate the men’s desire to take hold of the wheel of power and control?

Enters Rajab Mziray, an active member of Men Engage Tanzania, a network that aims at breaking the cycle of men’s toxic masculinity habits and involving men in the conversation of gender equality.

In this episode, he sits with Michael and Nadia. He discusses a man’s obsession with power and control, how society has championed these habits for the longest time, and the importance of men being willing to address this openly to become better men and humans.
