Hi Ren & the Astonishing Virility of Masculine Vulnerability
Millions of people are resonating with Ren’s music worldwide. This is why.
The old-school rules of #manbox culture tell men that showing emotions is dangerous.
Expressing vulnerability or seeking emotional support may be perceived by others as a sign of weakness, causing many men to suffer silently.
Sadly, this is the collective socialization of men.
Trending globally in 2023, Ren is breaking the mold
He is IGNORING this ubiquitous & toxic man mandate, and showing his emotions for all the world to see.
And his star is rising like a rocket!
By ignoring social conditioning to not show vulnerability as a man, he is defusing the power of his pain.
And by expressing his natural and normal reactions to the trauma of modern human existence in the public sphere, he is inspiring thousands of others to begin to do the same.
He’s simply not afraid to share his vulnerability
Ren has had plenty of pain in his life and is not afraid to share it publically.
