PFN – IHRAM Publishes Seeking Submissions on about: The Evolving Gaze: Society’s Voice for Masculinity
First Quarter: The Evolving Gaze: Society’s Voice for Masculinit
Exploring society’s voice for masculinity, this edition examines the evolving discourse around emotion, identity, and the male experience. From breaking down the stereotypes of toxic masculinity to embracing emotional vulnerability, it highlights the intersection of language, culture, and societal expectations surrounding what is deemed “masculine” and “feminine.”
We are eager to publish firsthand experiences by men, factual retellings of stories told by men in the author’s life, and reflections of the author’s personal experiences with emotion, identity, and the male experience. We encourage submissions from all over the world, regardless of gender or identity.
Themes: Firsthand experiences by men, masculinity and toxic masculinity, emotional expression, societal norms, language and identity, author reflections on factual retellings.
