'What a turn to conversation and confession as solutions to men’s mental health overlooks is that men’s unhappiness is depoliticised when it is individualised.' Ashley Thomson (@thatthomson) on talk as the trickle-down economics of mental health. overland.org.au/2019/12/talk…

"When we look to dictators as the embodiment of authoritarianism, we may miss the authoritarian tendencies of our own democratically-elected politicians and the ensuing degradation, however incremental, of our democratic systems."
Great piece, this
Macho strongmen, daggy dads—what's the difference, asks Ruth McHugh-Dillon, when the system remains the same? This new essay penetrates the cult of personality, looking through to patriarchy, power—and meaningful resistance.

Having just wrapped up a chat w @HeadsUpGuys there is no doubt that loneliness is the epidemic for the men of today. Here's a great piece from @thisishomer reflecting on how difficult it can seem to connect. 'The hovering thumb: On mates I don’t call' homeronline.com/mateship-mas…

> @thisishomer also ran a raw and honest analysis of my work on perpetrators. From the courageous @alexosullivan84: "I fear that if I think of my abusive ex-partner, & men like him, as anything less than a monster, I will somehow fall victim again." bit.ly/33N4fVW

This is a fascinating piece from @HarryAndrewM about the socio-historical link between masculinity and alcohol in the First World War, published in @thisishomer. Definitely worth a read this fine Saturday morning!

A little thing I wrote.
"I’ve never seen a fight break out, or even any mocking or shaming occur. Instead there’s a kind of hushed pride, the boys pulling off amazing tricks with barely a shy smile." New on Homer, Alexandra O'Sullivan on the masculine energy of the skate park. homeronline.com/skate-park-a…

Wrote about something I've been grappling with for a while. Grateful to @thisishomer for giving me this space, and for the care they showed my work. I'd love to hear what you think - thoughts and critiques are very welcome
"I’m no longer fat, but I’m not exactly fit, either. I am the undecided vowel between the two extremities." New on Homer: Prem Sylvester explores masculinity, weight loss, and the spaces inbetween fat and thin. homeronline.com/living-in-a-…

"We’re doing really bad things all the time – whether they’re overt sexual assaults to micro-aggressions." @thisishomer speaks with actor/co-creator @adlazarus about his play Daughter at #sydfest 2019. Read here: sydfe.st/2SAVpEr Tix here: sydfe.st/2rkP1W4

“... a healthier, more compassionate masculinity is on the rise — but please, if we are to win this battle, we must condemn the culture while showing compassion for the men and women trapped in it, while working hard to create cultural change.”
Why Calling It “Toxic Masculinity” Isn’t Helping
