The meaning behind "Man Up"

Harden up. Suck it up. Man up. We’ve been telling our men this for years, but is it healthy? Suicide is now the leading cause of death for Australian men aged 15-44. And alarming new research suggests that some men choose to take their own life, rather than appear weak by asking for help.

Blokelore

Boys to Men

Most people would agree they want to raise their kids into happy, well-adjusted young adults. So why are we still teaching our young boys to emulate an outdated version of masculinity that has contributed to a men’s mental health crisis in this country?

Men Love Bush

I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. But, like all things, sometimes the bush doesn’t fully love blokes back.

How Big Is Your Organ

Cock-sure men the world over have been assuming they know what women find attractive for years. But, as the plot of every rom-com ever will tell you, men have been mostly cocking it up this whole time.

The Mate Test

MAAAATE! It’s our national bloke greeting, offered with a smile and an outstretched paw at pubs, bbq’s and man gatherings all over Oz. Most people agree mateship is at the core of what it means to be Australian.

Real Aussie Blokes

Real Aussie Blokes is a photo series that aims to break down stereotypes of what it means to be a “real man”. Some stories are funny, some are deeply personal, but all of them are moving revelations about the complexity and diversity of masculinity.
