One of the social problems that is relevant for me is that men face discrimination in the society because of the history of patriarchal influence on the society by men however not every individual is the same and many men face discrimination when it comes to being just by the people of the society which can be of any gender. This is a socially constructed problem because reinforcement of the fact that men are dominant in nature and have been cruel towards the other gender make them vulnerable when it comes to sensitive issues such as emotional expression. There are multiple cases of attachment with men as well but they undergo heavy scrutiny from the society because it is less prevalent in the society. to eradicate the social problem we can start by increasing sensitivity about the masculine issues amongst both the genders equally.
