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.

More About Men has daily articles about men, their life styles
and thoughts and various issues and concerns that could linger
on a man’s mind, issues not of an immediate urgency
which nevertheless men wish to resolve or “get over” with.
These issues address men and their concerns from a range
of perspective.

topics.
