Istarjil: Be a Man

It’s November and in honour of Movember we are doing a series of episodes all about Men. In our first episode we are discussing how gender roles influence boys and men.  

We raise our boys and girls differently, with clearly defined gender roles for men and women. Much has been said over the years about the issues surrounding specific types of gender roles for women but what about men? What are the pros and cons of pushing guys into a man’s role? Today we discuss masculinity in the context of Saudi Arabia.

An Invitation to Empathize | Khayra at TEDxAlhamraaWomen
An Invitation to Empathize | Khayra at TEDxAlhamraaWomen

Women in Saudi (as we have heard time and time again) had been stopped (again and again) from pursuing their ambition. Some by accident and some on purpose. However, Khayra believes not only women suffer in a patriarchy. Expecting specific output from 50% of the population based on gender alone stops everyone from being their full selves. Being witness to her brother's struggle with emotions and autism, she has realized that men are stopped (again and again) from being truly authentic in their emotions of fear, helplessness, and nurture.

Let's explore together what that means to her, Abdullah, and the wider population of men. Khayra Bundakji co-hosts the podcast Azzbda, encouraging authentic living. She's a community builder that brought together people for Effat's Environmental Club, GeekFest Jeddah, Mstdfr Network, and most recently writers to Alf Kalimah. She is passionate about giving a safe place to individuals, as safety to express true selves is the best way to unleashing potential.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Why I Don't Have a Bucket List
Why I Don't Have a Bucket List

In the spirit of practicality, I get honest and admit how I set up goals, which was met with scoffing. Finally, I admitted it. The joy and euphoria I get when I am safe and doing daily activities is all the bucket-listing I need. What I didn't offer is the reason of this joy. This is an instance where withholding information does feel like lying.
