Voice Male

If you haven’t heard of or read Voice Male before, I strongly encourage you to check it out! It’s an amazing magazine that’s published in Amherst, Mass. You can subscribe or download the issues right from their website (voicemalemagazine.org).

Voice Male chronicles the social transformation of masculinity. Since its modest beginnings in 1983 as a newsletter for the pioneering Men’s Resource Center for Change, Voice Male has evolved into a magazine exploring critical issues relevant to men’s growth and health while cataloguing the damaging effects of men’s isolation and violence. Think of it as a navigational guide assisting men and boys on the voyage to healthy manhood.

In its pages readers discover a chorus of men’s voices—fathers, father figures and mentors; men of color; activist men; men exploring their inner lives; gay, bisexual, questioning, and trans men; and younger men.  The vibrant voices of women ring clear and true in Voice Male’s pages as allies in the work of gender justice.

Accounts of men overcoming violence and men who have survived abuse are published alongside stories championing women’s rights and girls’ and women’s safety. Reviews of edgy books and films on new masculinity and the latest in men’s health, are augmented by in-depth features: from men speaking honestly about violence in sports to pornography’s manipulation of men; from manhood in a time of war to how women and men can work together for gender justice. Voice Male shines a bright light on a male positive, pro-feminist, gay-affirmative, anti-racist future for men, women, families and communities.
