We are looking for stories, essays, poems, spoken word, word art, vignettes, raps, and anything else you can write down about your relationship to your M. Get creative, jot it down, and send it to m.project.stories@gmail.com.

Here are some ideas to get you thinking about your M:

When did you first feel “masculine?”

What has shaped your M?

What is the earliest encounter you remember with masculinity, and what was your reaction?

How do/did you react to media portrayals of masculinity?

If you don’t identify as masculine yourself, how do you feel when you interact with masculine folks?

How do you interact with masculinity in the world?

Is masculinity good/bad/neither/both?

How have you seen the interaction of the masculine and the feminine in your life, in your experience?
