the masculinity project how a new campaign is helping men open up.
7
The Masculinity Project launched in 2019 and has one simple aim, get men to open up and talk about their thoughts, feelings and worries to friends and family and other like-minded folk. In a recent survey, 55% of men aged 18-24 said crying in front of others would make them feel like less of a man and 53% felt like society expects them to never ask for emotional support. One in four young men said they were turning to self-harm as a result of depression anxiety and stress - many of them admitting that when they felt under pressure, they would turn to controlled eating, excessive exercise, punching walls, pulling out their hair, abusing drugs and/or cutting themselves. The Masculinity Project is trying to combat these issues found in men, with suicide being the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. I’m a firm believer of the phrase “A problem shared is a problem halved” and this has become the catalyst of our campaign strategy. To give men the opportunity to share their problems with the world. From a personal level, I find it incredibly helpful to write out my thoughts and unload my busy mind. It helps me reflect whilst also allowing me to discover how I can resolve these issues or even see that these big, monstrous problems aren’t that big after all.
“an idle brain is the devil’s workshop”
I’m passionate about the importance of creative expression, so writing is a great way to keep your mind at ease, it’s the same with painting or going out and taking photographs of my local area, it helps to keep my mind busy whilst allowing me to unload my thoughts, as the famous expression says; an idle brain is the devil’s workshop.
8
The Masculinity Project aims to generate a touring exhibition that highlights the thoughts, worries and feelings of 365 different men from all walks of life, with a postcard entry for each day of the year. This large collection will hope to allow every man to connect to at least one entry shown, giving them reassurance that they’re not alone in their thoughts and worries. It will hopefully break the stigma of men opening up and provide a platform
for discussion on what it really means for a man to be a man. It will also highlight the issues found within men to hopefully aid men suffering from mental illness. In this issue of The Guillotine we have provided you with four of our postcards, use them however you want. If you would like more, further postcards can be found on our website: www.themasculinityproject.com/shop

Why we need to stop giving labels to close male friendships.
Words & Design by Curtis Reeve
At school the term ‘bromance’ was rife, as common as the smell of Lynx deodorant filling the air of the school’s locker rooms after playing an intense game of football or seeing the social groups culminating in their usual spots at break time. It never seemed like a problem, the term ‘bromance’. Me and my mate Jack were inseparable, and of course we got labelled as having a bromantic relationship. We embraced it, we lapped up at the fact that our friendship was so great that we had garnered this term. But why? What made our relationship different from my female counterparts? We were just two great friends who would do anything for each other. A healthy relationship has been labelled at something different and in hindsight I’ve come to the conclusion that ‘bromance’ needs to die. 13
“But let’s me honest with ourselves, it’s just a close friendship being labelled as something different...” Now I’m not saying the actual underlying factors behind the term are negative, they are definitely positive. They celebrate male friendship in a world where more and more men are struggling to build more than surface-level connections between each other, and men’s friendship are only the ones they retained throughout their school life. But let’s shed this phrase and say it how it is: two men having a great, dynamic friendship, one where you would open up about your worries, your feelings and would always be there for each other. Now that I’m no longer at school I do hear the term less and less, maybe it’s not as prevalent as it used to be in youth-culture. But that doesn’t mean it’s still not there. Looking at Google Trends, the term has remained a steady search with the occasional spike in the last five years, notably during the Obama administration with the ‘Bromantic’ relationship with the then President, Barack Obama and his partner in crime, Vice-President Joe Biden. These stemmed a plethora of memes, labelled ‘Joebama’. These were a series of images and captions that joked at their relationship and how their friendship had a ‘romantic’ flair. But let’s me honest with ourselves, it’s just a close friendship being labelled as something different such as “eight years of the greatest presidential bromance of all time is coming to an end.” I love my mates, more than anything. But there’s only a few of them I’ve ever opened up to deeply; I’ve cried in front of them, poured my heart open and not had a single worry that I would be judged. These are the relationships you need in your life. You garner the ability to open up and have that emotional release that every man should have. So let’s drop the ‘Bromance’ and take back what it really is, a friendship. 14

TERRY CREWS ON

MASCULINITY 19
Admitting guilt to once being a toxic man, former NFL star turned actor, Terry Crews, is now an avid campaigner to changing perceptions of manhood. It’s public knowledge that Terry Crews is a firm believer of the eradication of “toxic masculinity” in today’s society. A man who once was “one of the boys” during his NFL days, not through choice but through the conditioning of how we raise our boys, a ‘James Bond’ culture as he puts it. Where men are encouraged to get praise for sleeping with as many women as possible and urged to facilitate an emotionless mindset. “Masculinity can be a cult, you are sucked into a group mentality...” he said in an interview with NBC. The locker room talk affected Crews deeply, with his morals at a crossroads; “You don’t want to be kicked out. So I’m like, ‘Yeah, man, look at that ass!’ Even if I might not have felt that way. Did I rape anyone? No. But did I look the other way? Hell yes. While all those things were going on, I didn’t say anything,”
20
In 2017, after the eruption in Hollywood following numerous Actresses coming forward with allegations of sexual assault by movie-mogul Harvey Weinstein. Crews decided to share his story of sexual assault that occurred two years prior. In a series of sixteen tweets, Crews detailed his story of how a producer grabbed his genitals at a media function. “This is what toxic masculinity is. People think, ‘Look how big you are, look how strong you are. If I was you, I would’ve killed him.’ But my body’s not for killing. In America, we want to finish the movie. And the movie, if you’re a man, is ‘Dirty Harry,’” he said.
Crews uses the term ‘Cult of Masculinity’ in many of his interviews, a term devised from the cult-like state of being sucked into a group mentality. He reaffirms that men aren’t under attack but the cultural and societal influence shapes men into being moulded into a certain way. Crews has shared his experiences with this, at a young age he used to enjoy painting and playing the flute. Yet other men ridiculed him into a state where it seemed inappropriate for a man to do such things. “I would feel bad about doing what I want to do. True manhood was about was being you. Doing the things you really enjoy doing without apology.” he said when discussing how he overcome this mentality. This is definitely something that the actor feels strongly about, and with a plethora of knowledge to back his argument and a history of being a victim of toxic masculinity. These traits need to be tackled head on, “It’s like trying to cut a tree down by the leaves, it doesn’t work. You have to get to the root of the problem.” He understands that this is no easy task, and he understands the public have varying different opinions on the matter at hand. “Boys are told to control and dominate” he said. In the workplace, on the playing field or at home. “People don’t like to be controlled [and] the issue is many people feel like others are trying to control everyone and you have to resist.”

Mindsets are developed at an early age, you listen to your parents or whoever raises you and in most cases these reflect and shape your morality to some degree. We are currently on the edge of a cultural and social shift when it comes to masculinity and men like Terry Crews deserve to have a platform to tell their stories. The discussion of masculinity is now fully out in the open and can’t be put back in it’s box, this is a chance to show people what it can mean to be a man, through talking to each other. You can’t control how people feel and neither should you wish to do so. “You can’t love someone and control them at the same time.” I have to agree, the most you can do is to bring new, healthier mindsets to the table and open up a dialogue.

How men are being robbed of their lives.
Words & Design by Curtis Reeve 27
Suicide in men is three times as likely compared to their female counterparts and is the biggest killer of males under the age of 45. The fact that men see no other alternative than to take their own lives is a troubling truth and I believe that as a collective we can all agree on one thing; something needs to change.
As an overarching statement it has been documented that men don’t like to talk about their feelings, whether it’s as small as crying at a film or piece of music; or bigger issues such as showing care and affection and admitting weakness within themselves. This is sometimes referred to as “The Mask of Masculinity”, a type of ‘front’ that has been reaffirmed in pop-culture and the upbringing of our children. It’s a mask that covers up how a human-being is meant to act and react, due to the fact they are a man. The alpha-males of todays society reaffirms this, we give this tag to men who fit into the mould of “masculinity” and wear this mask with pride and self-issued integrity.
“each side has polarising, strong views on the subject, but is that a bad thing?” The situation that men are now in is due to generational coddling of what men should be, a distinct and dangerous concoction of the do’s and don’ts of male life that have been engrained in our culture for years and years. With the social discourse that has erupted in the Western World over the past ten years, we have now come to a gridlocked standstill of opinions and social change, with everyone having to pick what side they’re on; a dangerous and unhealthy place for our society to be in.
28
On one side, we have what I call the “traditionals”. These are the men who will fight tooth and nail who believes that masculinity is something that should not be tampered with, it’s a staple of what makes men; men. The other side, are labelled as more “progressive” and aim to battle the stereotypical masculine traits that are unhealthy for the modern world. You hear again and again in the media of this debate between the two, and each side has polarising, strong views on the subject, but is that a bad thing? Empathy is a trait that I hold dear to me, I believe it’s a human right that you should try to empathise with everyone, even if they are the worst human to ever exist, someone who is full of evil and has delivered truly horrific acts against the world and its inhabitants. Now do you need to sympathise with these evil people? Of course not. However, trying to find empathy allows you to see both sides of the coin, and allows us to see the errors and the thought process between ourselves to create a more equal society. I see myself as somewhat of a centralist on the matter, I can empathise with both sides of the topic and feel that I can gravitate to some points on either side. But I don’t think I’m alone, I think the heavily covered articles and reports only reflect a small, vocal minority of each side. I strongly believe that every man can agree on one thing; men shouldn’t have to resort to taking their own lives.
I feel that it was important to note that there are two sides to this argument but now we can get to the heart of what I’m trying to discuss.
“We’re told to man up, we’re told that boys don’t cry, we’re told to bury our feelings and express through actions...” The “Mask of Masculinity” is a terrible one, it’s a mask that suffocates mens ability to speak openly about what’s inside their head due to the expected shame from other guys. We’re told to man up, we’re told that boys don’t cry, we’re told to bury our feelings and express through actions; which are sometimes violent. This is engrained in men at an early age, you get into a bit of a scrap at school, “boys will be boys” they say. We’re projected the standard of a man through pop-culture. Filled with James Bond-esque figures, ‘classic’ films where a man from “Her Majesty’s Secret Service” gets the girl, even if he thrusts himself onto her. I never thought of the harm this could endure. I grew up watching Goldfinger with Sean Connery on VHS, I just thought he was cool, he was what I considered a gentleman. But how I was wrong, a man who had a perverted nature, who would hold down women and thrusted himself onto
them without batting an eye. Perhaps it’s unfair to critique a film from 1964, times have changed and it definitely was seen as acceptable back then compared to now. But as an impressionable seven year old I wouldn’t be able to formulate an opinion on this matter. Bond is never seen as weak, he shows no emotion apart from a sexual one, he is stone-faced and is a hero. Of course, at the end of the day, they are just films and novels. But the influences on the world are now engrained in our society. Many will protect the James Bond films, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing, they are just works of fiction after all. But many who dismiss the terms of toxic masculinity don’t seem to understand the point in what many are trying to make. We’re not attacking masculinity, we’re attacking
the additional stigmas that are attached with being a man. Of course men have biological traits that create who we are, we have testosterone, we’re normally taller and stronger in terms of biology. We think differently and have our own personality traits that make us men.
“The Mask is attached to all of us, whether we like it or not.” But that doesn’t mean that everything that men were allowed to do for all these years is acceptable now. These are traits of nurture, not nature. Like the overly sexualised discussion of women between men, “locker room talk”. Or how some men think it’s acceptable to belittle and show aggression to overs. These are not biological traits, these are social structures that have been built up over time. Many men see aggression and violence as the only way to express emotion, the built up feelings of stress, loneliness, sadness etc. erupt into a flurry of fists. Instead of talking about their problems and issues. The Mask is attached to all of us, whether we like it or not. But we need to talk about the issues and opinions of others without outright dismissing them. We need to understand why people think the way they do before we can collectively make a change and better ourselves as men.

“One of the only pressure I feel specifically as a man is the pressure to be ambitious. It seems that if you aren’t aspiring to some spectacular career, you’re wasting your life. It doesn’t seem okay for me, or maybe in general, to try and lead a calm and modest life. I refuse to feel guilty about being content with what I already have.” - Charlie, 22

ITALIA 90
How the tears of a man who wore his heart on his sleeve touched a nation. The date was July 4th 199 0. England were set to play Wes t Germany at the Stadio delle Alpi in the Semi-finals at Italia 90. The whole country was behind the lads and excitement swept acro ss the nation, this could be the yea r we earn our second star abo ve the Three Lions, this could be the year we show the world we’re still a great footballing nation. Wh at happened that night will rem ain with every Englishmen forever.
After a fierce ninety minutes the score was at deadlock at 1-1, and in extra time, Gascoigne went in for a challenge and fouled West German player Thomas Berthold. As soon as Gazza went in for the challenge, he knew what the outcome was going to be. A yellow card, his second of the tournament, meant that he would miss the final if England won the match. As soon as the card was shown, you could see
the beloved England player’s face turn beetroot red, his lip started to wobble and emotions began to pour out. His World Cup was ultimately over. With the now famous scenes of team mate Gary Lineker indicating to the sideline that his teammate was upset, “I could see his bottom lip was going... I didn’t know that the moment would be caught on camera.” The footage touched the heart of the nation,
“HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER OF HIS ERA, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR BECAUSE HE PLAYED WITH A SMILE.”
32
it humanised the face of football and helped thrust it’s appeal to a wider audience, across the world. Fellow team mate Ian Wright was asked about the now historical moment: “I didn’t see him crying or all that commotion. It wasn’t until later that I saw footage of the game and noticed how upset he was. Years later I read that Gascoigne’s tears were some kind of watershed moment in
English football, that it helped people fall in love with the game once again.” These tears became a piece of footballing history. It showed a mans passion for the game and his country. “When I was crying, when I got booked, it wasn’t cos I was gonna miss the final - it was cos I loved it so much I thought it was the end of my career” Gascoigne said in an interview. He was beloved by all, with
his school-boy antics becoming a staple of his character, he entertained the whole world during the tournament, with his silly, light-hearted jokes being covered throughout the summer. He was a legend, a man who just loved football more than anything, “He was the best player of his era, a breath of fresh air because he played with a smile.” said former Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
“THESE TEARS DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WEAKNESS, IT WAS PURE PASSION FOR THE GAME AND FOR HIS COUNTRY”
Gazza was a footballer for the people, and becoming an icon as a man who cried on national television on one of the biggest stages of them all is one that should be celebrated. It’s rare to see raw emotion from professionals who are taught not to show “weakness”, but these tears didn’t have anything to do with weakness, it was pure passion for the game and for his country, a rare sight in todays footballing landscape.
Nearly thirty years later people still fondly remember the tournament and the tears that were shed. Yet men still believe that crying in front of people shows weakness and is an emasculating trait to showcase. I think all men, from all walks of life should take a page out of Gazza’s book, and wear your heart on your sleeve, loud and proud. Tears don’t make you weak, they showcase the ability to convey a
basic human emotion. Although Gazza’s history has been troubled with alcohol abuse and other mishaps, we should hold his career and character with the highest regard, a footballing legend and a purely genuine man. He will never be forgotten, his tears for that brief moment will be engrained in football and the World Cup legacy forever. In an interview a few years ago, fellow team mate and longtime friend, Gary Lineker
was asked about Gazza and I feel he summed him up perfectly: “Part of his genius, part of his magnificence, is the fact that he was so vulnerable. Without that vulnerable side, without that carefree side, without all the things that come with Gazza, I don’t think Paul Gascoigne would have been the player that he was.” Thank you Gazza.

How the band IDLES are redefining masculinity
Formed in 2009, Bristol based “punk” band IDLES are at the forefront of a new musical revolution. Bringing back the harsh melodic charm of late 70’s punk and producing songs that tackle modern issues in a brutalist, thought-provoking style. With two albums now under their belt, with critically acclaimed Brutalism releasing in 2017 and their second album Joy as an Act of Resistance releasing just a year after, which earned them a nomination at the 2019 Brit Awards for Best Breakthrough Act and made the top spot for BBC Radio 6 Music’s ‘Top 10 Albums of 2018’.
“This album is an attempt to be vulnerable to our audience and to encourage vulnerability; a brave naked smile in this shitty new world” Joy as an Act of Resistance covers a broad range of topics from self-love, immigration, Brexit, the class divide, singer Joe Talbot’s personal issues and of course, toxic masculinity. “This album is an attempt to be vulnerable to our audience and to encourage vulnerability; a brave naked smile in this shitty new world” frontman Talbot in an interview where they announced the album. “We have stripped back the songs and lyrics to our bare flesh to allow each other to breathe, to celebrate our differences, and act as an ode to communities and the individuals that forge them. Because without our community, we’d be nothing.” Songs found on the album, such as Colossus, Never Fight a Man With a Perm, Love Song, Cry to Me and Samaritans cover the topics of vulnerability and toxic-masculinity in a fantastical flurry of thought provoking lyrics mixed with memorable riffs. DIY magazine described Colossus as “a blistering two-part rally against toxic masculinity, it’s an exhilarating, deeply important return”. With the song containing lyrics such as “They laugh at me when I run. I waste away for fun. I am my father’s son. His shadow weighs a tonne.” You can see why this statement was made. A brutal build up of how sons are seen through their fathers eyes and boys can be picked at the bones by of other men. Their song Samaritans, an ode to the mental health charity, is a personal favourite of mine. A song full of strong messages of polarising statements of masculinity gives power to
37
the words. “This song is about masculinity and how its an illness.” said Talbot when he introduced the song live. There are numerous remarks on masculinity in the song, such as man up, chin up, grow some balls and the mask of masculinity. These themes are then intertwined with progressive, thought provoking, lyrics. With a altered rendition of Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed a Girl’ being transformed into the line ‘I kissed a boy and I liked it.’ With Talbot’s emotionally charged vocals and the clangs of guitar filling the air, this small change gives a jokey line a whole new amount of power behind it. As contributors on website Genius stated:
I kissed a boy and I liked it.
“[it] serves to indict toxic masculine culture twice over: for its repression of male emotional development, and for the simultaneously hypocritical exploitation of a fetishised female homosexuality.” This simple one worded change to a famous line from a completely different genre of music helps to express the difficulty and repression of men, where a man’s sexual orientation is seen as an ‘unnatural act’ to some but is considered a sexual fantasy when discussing our female counterparts, it’s tolerated and not frowned upon. Talbot’s new found power with this change aims to revise the form of masculinity seen in todays world.
I’m a real boy, boy and I cry. I love myself and I want to try.
Joy as an Act of Resistance. (2018) Released by Partisan Records
In the same interview, they also covered the themes of toxic masculinity and how it has reached the point of now becoming toxic;
In an interview with The Fader, Joe Talbot was asked about what Samaritans is about and what it means to him;
“It has reached this point through many parts of culture leaning towards the masculine and feminine binaries pressuring people to “fit in” [...] It’s important for men to look inwards and question the roles they play in order to love themselves for who they truly are, in turn being more open to vulnerability and in doing so becoming more open to other voices.”
“Samaritans” came about at a time where I realised through counselling that I spent a lot of my life feeling lonely, even though I had such supportive friends and family around. I learned soon after it was down to a certain performative nature to which I related strength to silence, leading to problems as I ended up confused and angry from bottling up my feelings, which in turn then manifested in violence and self-loathing. I wanted to try and explore that in a song that could illustrate that relationship between masculinity and it’s trail of ugly shame and death.”
With IDLES now gathering more and more traction within the music scene, their message is reaching a wider audience. With an aim to promote unity and community within people, this has generated a communal platform on Facebook. Community run group ALL IS LOVE: AF GANG is now a space for fellow IDLES fans to culminate and to be able to open up and share with each other. With over 16,000 members, myself included, the group posts anything from music recommendations, photos and updates from the band and even a place to seek emotional support from like-minded folk.
38
I’ve managed to see them twice, once as a support back in 2016 and then recently for my birthday in April. They were truly out of this world, it’s an experience that I have never witnessed from the numerous bands I’ve seen throughout the years. Although they have a punk style, Talbot begs to differ; “For the last time, we’re not a fucking punk band” he shouted on stage at a gig in Manchester. I think he just doesn’t want to be put into a box that he will be unable to get out of. And at the end of the day, all their songs have their own sound and style, but the iconic raw sound always rings through. I can’t wait to see what’s up next for IDLES, and with a rumoured third album in the works, only time will tell. AF GANG FOR LIFE.
