Man and Patriarchy: How to Deconstruct as a Man? And What Impact Does It Have on the Couple?
202. Man and Patriarchy: How to Deconstruct as a Man? And What Impact Does It Have on the Couple?
In episode 202, we tackle a subject that is often misunderstood: patriarchy and its impact on men, on the couple, and on how to deconstruct this influence.
The word “patriarchy” is sometimes associated with blaming men — and that is a reductive view I wanted to move beyond, because personally I believe this deconstruction concerns men and women equally.
To explore this, I invited Cedric Rostein, alias Papatriarcat, content creator on masculinity and deconstruction, who shares his personal journey.
In this episode, we explore:
- What patriarchy concretely does to men (and why it is not about blame)
- How it influences couple dynamics on a daily basis
- The first concrete steps to begin your own deconstruction
- What changes in the relationship when a man starts this work
Having accompanied more than 600 people in couple work, this is a subject I see having a real impact on relational dynamics.
