Love Guns, Tight Pants, and Big Sticks

Who Put the Cock in Rock?
Article by Juliana Tringali, Illustrated by Nicholas Brawley, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Music; tagged beauty standards, groupies, hair bands, heavy metal, masculinity, misogyny, rock, Rolling Stone, women in rock.

cock rock: To some, the term conjures up images of rock gods in white jumpsuits, long hair haloed by a rainbow of lights, fans waving their Bics in unison as an immaculate guitar solo screams out from a tower of amps. To others, it evokes backstage legends of drugs and debauchery, the triumph of malecentric hedonism over social conscience, the unapologetic celebration of sleaze. To still others, it’s shorthand for memorable riffs with a backbeat that makes you want to throw some devil horns and bang your head.

Five Conversations About One Thing - Jim McKay

An interview with Jim McKay by Amy Richards, Illustrated by Photo of Richards by Joanne Savio, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Film; tagged Amy Richards, documentary, fatherhood, Girls Town, Jim McKay, third wave.

Amy Richards met Jim McKay as he was getting ready to release his first film, Girls Town, in 1995. McKay was kind (and political) enough to offer his film to the Third Wave Foundation, which Richards cofounded, for a benefit screening. Though Third Wave has had dozens of events since then, none has come close to matching its success, in terms of sheer dollars raised in one sitting (over $20,000), the number of new donors and allies attracted to the organization’s work, and the unparalleled visibility that comes when you combine social justice and Hollywood.

Five Conversations About One Thing - Joe Kelly

An interview with Joe Kelly by Ayun Halliday, Illustrated by Photo of Halliday by DA Photography, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Activism; tagged advertising, Ayun Halliday, daughters, fatherhood, Joe Kelly, magazines, media, New Moon, parenting.
Years ago, Joe Kelly noticed a Maidenform ad reading “Inner beauty only goes so far” on the side of a city bus, and was hor­­ri­fied to imagine one of his young daughters as the subject of it. As one of the founders, with wife Nancy Gruver, of New Moon: The Maga­zine for Girls and Their Dreams, an award-winning, youth-edited publication, Kelly was well aware that the relationships between girls and their fathers hold an importance that’s too often dismissed or overlooked.

Dumb & Getting Dumber

Sideways, Spongebob, and the New Masculinity
Dumb & Getting Dumber
Article by Judith Halberstam, Illustrated by Martha Rich, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged bad movies, gender roles, gender stereotyping, heroes, manliness, masculinity, mid-life crisis, rites of passage, spongebob squarepants, stupidity.

In 2004, every corner of popular culture was populated by men in crisis, and I don’t just mean George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney. We had men in trouble, men in triumph, men in uniform, men on the cross, men in square­pants; men being men with other men, talking about masculinity—what it is, how to have it, keep it, get it, make it last. We might even call it the Year of the Man, but the response to such a title could reasonably be, So what’s new? Isn’t every year the year of the man?
