The Hard Hat Brotherhood is an online space for men above the age of 18. The idea being to reinvent male friendship spaces like the one men had/enjoyed during their childhood days. The basic philosophy of this site is a “male bonding” and camaraderie to relive the friendship that men ‘seem’ to have lost out on in being adults. A visit to this online portal is bound to raise questions in us about the limits of male bonding and how this bonding could reinforce the same stereotypes and boundaries between men and women.
