UK: Charity calendar that promotes 'healthier masculinity' has athletes posing nude
Article here. Excerpt:
'A group of athletes have stripped off in a series of very daring images for a charity calendar that promotes 'healthier masculinity' in sports.
...
Angus talked about what motivated him to make the calendar in more detail.
'We’re all still living with the rules and repercussions of male privilege – what academics call hegemonic masculinity,' he said.
'If you’re born straight, white, male and socially privileged, you still have a massive head start in life. Any other group that tries to get a seat at the table is accused of misguided 'identity politics', which makes no sense.
...
In previous years, the calendar has focused on challenging homophobia in sporting culture by inviting mainly heterosexual sportsmen to strip off as a gesture of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.'
