Detox Your Masculinity

Synopsis

Understand Cultural Influences that Affect Men's Body Image.

Men's body image doesn't get a lot of airtime, but negative body image and eating disorders can be just as common among men as women! This engaging zine helps you understand how cultural issues like the media, toxic masculinity, the male ideal, and intersectionality can negatively affect men's body image and eating habits. Detox your Masculinity is an inclusive zine that cis and trans men can use. It debunks many male body image ideals, including hair, height, muscularity, and penises too! 

The zine introduces the practice of self-compassion and concludes with helpful resources and a self-assessment tool men can take to begin the important steps to improve the way they think and feel about their body. This is a much-needed resource for men's body image.
