a+ ally
Rewriting the Male Role
Calling all male, non-binary, and non-traditionally gendered voices! “A+ Ally” is for those who want to explore masculinity, gender, and allyship. We’re looking for fresh perspectives that break down toxic norms and champion female-led projects. Submit your take, and help us rewrite the narrative.
Content Guidelines
We are looking for work that is entirely original, intentional, and aspirational. No use of AI, such as ChatGPT or otherwise. We do not accept work that reflects views of discrimination, hate, and prejudice in any form. Please submit in a document format; Times New Roman font, size 12, spaced identically to what you’d like to see in print. We reserve the right to reformat titles or indents as seen fit for our publication.
If you identify as a female, your work will be considered under the “blink & it’s pink” subsection (if the theme of your work is intended for a Gen Z audience) or the “raise the FOC up” subsection (if you identify as a female of colour). If you do not identify as a female, your work will be considered under the “a+ ally” subsection, assuming your project involves the direction or involvement of a female-identifying person.
