@sludgemag Over the last few years modern masculinity has been under the microscope. Poor mental health, shifts to far-right politics, toxic influencer and incel culture online and growing body image issues are all impacting. Media discourse tends to focus on agendas and narratives rather than just asking men what they think and feel, which needs to change. I’ve spent the past year photographing my male friends and asking them the same question: What does being a man mean to you? Stay tuned for episode 1 Photography, filming and editing by @Martyn Song: Delightful produced by @dvrryldvrryldvrryl #masculinity #toxicmasculinity #incel #manhood #feminism ♬ original sound - Sludge Mag
