What is the Masculinity Redefined trend?
Masculinity Redefined: With women becoming more independent and career-focused due to more open and encouraging educational opportunities, men have subsequently faced a shift in gender roles, integrating themselves into more familial responsibilities that were once dominated by the opposite gender.
