I love playing guitar, covers mostly. I've only just started trying to write my own stuff, at partially inspired by my recent first break up. I have a strong interest in 1960s/70s folk music so if if anyone is looking recommendations I'd be more than happy to oblige. I'm also really into psychology, sociology and gender studies, I love trying to understand what makes people tick and looking at that in the context of society. Also I'm a guy that's into feminism, I don't know many other guys IRL who identify as one. Redefining masculinity and gender roles are also things I like to think about.
Very cool. What do you mean by redefining masculinity?
Thank you. I think the main thing would be making it more acceptable for men to exhibit qualities traditionally deemed feminine like empathy. Sociologist Michael Kimmel came up with idea of the 'act like a man box' that men have to fit into. If men step outside the box they can be verbally and physically abused. Toxic masculinity or Hegemonic masculinity are variations of masculinity which harm men and others.
