Summary: Many Irish boys feel trapped in an outdated idea of masculinity, that values physical skill and toughness. And where there is no way to show vulnerability without looking 'weak'. They feel as though they can't talk about their problems, and they certainly don't cry! But today, boys desire and deserve a fuller expression of their qualities. Physical strength and sporting skill can still be celebrated, but so too can the strength to be gentle, to ask for help and to look within. 'Gods Don't Cry' offers unsung stories of Irish gods whose ancient tales help to redefine heroism and offer a positive vision of masculinity, that supports gender equality.
