- Abstract
- This non-traditional journalism thesis project consists of a series of three articles about the phenomenon of toxic masculinity in contemporary society. The first of these articles explains the definition of toxic masculinity, discusses the way the issue is portrayed in different segments of the media, and covers two relevant flashpoints in the societal discussion around masculinity in 2019: an advertising campaign from the Gillette razor brand and the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. The second article in this series discusses the role adult male mentorship plays in influencing the way boys conceive masculinity, with a specific focus on sports coaches. The final article is a narrative, first-person essay examining my own relationship with masculinity throughout my life, as well as what I learned about the world of men’s work and adult male support groups.
