Boys are still training not to respond to and suppress their emotions, in order to become strong and independent. But it hurts the boys, and later the men.
They feel guilty when they have feelings that are considered feminine or weak, and do not feel connected to the people around them.
Men throw themselves in risky activities, take less care of their health, commit suicide more and die earlier than women. This is an individual problem, but also a social one.
There is a direct correlation between feeling modesty in men, feeling "impermissible", being like a "girl", and the outbreak of violence. Still, society has a hard time accepting empathy as masculine strengths, and women have a role to play in making this stereotype of men firmly entrenched, so I think we need to re-engage the concept of masculinity.

Solo exhibition
"Him Too"
Strong, sturdy, responsible, rough, unbreakable, never cries, never gets hurt … That is what we know about men. This image takes hold of our perception of men until it becomes a stereotype: a rigid, unemotional, and inhumane mould into which men are born. Men are raised to be responsible and dependable, as if it were a process of manufacturing creatures with special abilities for later use. However, men are humans too; they go through moments of weakness and defeat. They might be frail and unable to face what they are going through
Ahmad Nagy Draz had an opportunity, because of his work as a street photographer, to capture these spontaneous moments of frailty. The photographs here unravel what is happening in men’s secret interior, and not the preconceived image of what a man should be like.
