When I first agreed to be part of SBS’s masculinity panel, I genuinely thought I was walking into a space for open conversation. A chance to unpack, reflect, and explore how masculinity impacts all of us in different ways, especially those of us coming from different walks of life. I knew it would be layered and complex, but what I didn’t expect was to find myself in a room that felt more like a debate stage than a space for real dialogue. One that quickly lost its meaning.
