Stoicism, rather than feminism, has much to offer: men, boys, women and girls.
Are men really better off rejecting the idea of being strong and stoic? In this thought-provoking episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula tackles the controversial debate sparked by Jessica Valenti's New York Times piece, 'What Feminists Can Do for Boys'. Valenti encourages men to abandon traditional expectations of strength and stoicism, but Vacula argues that stoic philosophy offers a more robust framework for a fulfilling life.
Through the lens of ancient Stoic teachings, he explores how values like courage, justice, and moderation can help us navigate modern challenges. By focusing on what we can control and letting go of external validation, stoicism promotes mental resilience and emotional balance. Vacula also discusses how cognitive behavioral therapy can complement stoic practices to manage negative emotions effectively. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in finding meaningful alternatives to societal norms and enhancing their mental well-being.
