Abstract

The language of crises speaks differently for both men and women. With women, children, and the elders having to face the impacts more prominently, these groups of people are constantly marginalised, especially during troubled times. During this COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most concerning crises that arise is the crisis that involves societal life, gender relations, and masculinity performances, heightening the issue of gender inequality. The increasing number of domestic violence in particular countries shows that the essentialist idea of masculinity plays a big part in shaping men's response to the socio-gender crisis. This paper discusses how masculinity can be reimagined towards behaviours that embrace social empathy.
