While there has been a lot of work and communication on women and their place in society, take little interest in men and the way in which their social identities are constructed. The actions in favor of equality, which are increasingly encouraged, remain focused on girls and stereotypes linked to femininity without necessarily questioning the norms of virile gender and the valorization of the male model, as if this were unrelated to the problem.
The purpose of this work is to decipher and show how the people interviewed took ownership of or detached themselves from the male figures to which they are exposed.
What was their experience as a child and teenager socialized as a boy? How did the analysis and understanding of gender norms affect their development as adults? How did their relationship to sexuality change? How about their relationship to women? To men? To stereotypes and gender roles?
The aim is to show boys, but also girls and the general public, a wider range of masculinities and an opening up of possibilities, taking as its starting point the idea that forms of masculinity are diverse and that one can flourish by freeing oneself from stereotypical, toxic and dominant models.
Themes : Adolescence, puberty, pressures to be masculine (felt or not), sexual initiation, fears, anxiety, joys, changing beliefs and perceptions, tenderness, etc.
