What makes a 'real' man?

In this film commissioned by the Barbican, NOWNESS creative director and filmmaker Bunny Kinney borrows from the exhibition’s themes to create a playful, pastel-hued, talking-heads film exploring gender roles, patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity.

"The concept was simple: to create a living document of 'masculinity now' embodied by a vibrant array of individuals," says Kinney, who interviewed 16 people whose identities span the spectrum of masculinity. "Each person featured has a different relationship to their own sense of masculinity and what that even means to them."

That kid is so cute and I love that he’s been raised to be accepting

"It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, just be yourself." Unless you happen to be one of the categories targeted for deconstruction in this video. In that case don't be yourself, be more like the meta understanding the editors happen to have of "Gender" at this very moment.

Lyrics:
When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better
But now I'm a man
I look like a man
I'm old as a man
And I should know better
Got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul
There it is - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man
I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Light it up - way…

this editing is _chaotic_ 😂 anyways shoutout to the genderqueers

A lot of the views represented here seem common sense but occasionally I can see signs of the schools of thought where some of these people are coming from which are essentially pseudo-philosophies and anti-scientific. I'm sure they don't deny science consciously but some of the ideologies which their views are based on are akin to a religious cult.

very good video but do not like so much the vintage bad resolution look, sorry (just my opinion)

[alvaroa.fuentes]

Why do you bring an undecided into this?

[NatashaVincent]

Great opinions from all. The kiddo and the redhead stole the show!

In the 90s some people were still saying being gay or lesbian was a mental health issue. It won't be long before people realize gender and sex both exist on a spectrum.

Pretty simple. A Y-chromosome makes a man.
