Our goal has been to create a platform for articles and perspectives on pro-feminism, diversity and gender equity. We wanted to increase the reach of content that would otherwise just be published in local languages and for smaller audiences.
Why just men?
There are so many great resources on feminism by women and so few by men. We have experienced that a lot of men are a bit “skittish” when it comes down to relating to those issues. For those men, we wanted to establish a platform where they can find information and a place for learning, reflecting and sharing perspectives.
What we want to do
There are so many great insights out there, while most of us just have access to content in your own language(s). We want to provide access to this information
- by putting it online in an English version (authors are kindly requested to get their texts translated),
- by giving all participants the opportunity to translate and promote the texts back into their respective language(s) and
- by expanding the reach of the individual texts through the combination of the participants’ networks: social media platforms, blogs etc.
What we don’t want to do
We don’t want to trigger fundamental discussions about which feministic theory is the one and only truth. Instead, we want to concentrate on providing fantastic content and identifying potential male allies.
We don’t want to see our mission and idea being hijacked by masculinists, “pinkwashing corporates” or aggressors of any kind. Instead, we want to show how much male support for feminism is out there and how much thinking and reflection is going on among men of any generation.
What kind of content are we looking for?
We welcome all kinds of texts, blogposts, essays etc. We’re just a platform and vessel for distributing important perspectives across our continent. We see our value in the attempt to create a larger audience for exciting content and in the opportunity to reach men who are interested in supporting feminism but who might have remained inaudible so far.
