क्वीयर मर्दानगी एक वैकल्पिक मर्दानगी है जो पितृसत्तात्मक और विषमलैंगिक मानदंडों को अक्सर चुनौती देती है और मर्दानगी के स्वरूप को अधिक समावेशी बनाती है।
दो कविताएं – हवेली आधुनिकता के आवरण में क्षयग्रस्त पारंपरिक पुरुषत्व को दर्शाती है, जबकि चारपाई कठोर और लचीली अभिव्यक्तियों के बीच विरोधाभास प्रस्तुत करती है, जहां जो जिस चारपाई पर बैठते हैं, उसके गुणों को अपनाते हैं, जो भिन्न-भिन्न पुरुषवादी पहचानों का प्रतीक है।
पितृसत्तात्मक समाज में, पुरुषत्व एक विशेष प्रकार के व्यवहार के रूप में प्रकट होता है, जैसे नियंत्रण करना और हावी होना, अक्सर हिंसक तरीकों से।
Even her talking to other men elicits a growl from these men, and it’s all supposed to be okay because they’re billionaires and 6’5 feet tall or something, oh and did I mention the abs?
Men perform an identity that they don’t fully understand. The pressure to appear strong while feeling the full range of emotions that they cannot express creates a hollow inside, creates a quiet dissonance, a loneliness that is rarely spoken of but deeply felt.
Z is forced to wear the mask of masculinity, a mask made of the various tropes of stereotypical masculine energy…
Adolescence manages to highlight the reality of growing up in a world with the Internet where everything – the good, the bad, the questionable – is only a touch away.
Masculinity is like a script given to boys early in their lives. There is a constant pressure to fit into the box of toughness, and be silent and dominating. But what if we all rewrite this script?
पितृसत्ता ने मर्दानगी को विषमलैंगिकता और यौनिक वर्चस्व से जोड़ा है, जिससे पुरुषों पर ‘सच्चा मर्द’ बनने का दबाव बढ़ता है। यह न केवल समलैंगिक और द्विलैंगिक पुरुषों को हाशिए पर डालता है, बल्कि विषमलैंगिक पुरुषों के लिए भी यौनिक अभिव्यक्ति को सीमित करता है।
Looking down upon the earth from many miles up in the sky, the divisions between land masses and water bodies…
Language can be a limiting thing when it alone is considered to be the marker of success or failure in intimate spaces. Sometimes we get stuck on what is said and fail to notice what is done in relationships. At other times, denial of a need, request, or crossing of one boundary can make us feel like the entire relationship has lost its value.

When a woman, in her own house, is told by her family members, to always seek their consent before doing anything, and to always keep them informed of every activity she engages in, or even to seek a job in her chosen field, her freedom is taken away from her. She is expected to take their consent for anything and everything, but her own consent is taken away from her.
