Gender has always been understood to be about women. But increasing numbers of men are now challenging traditional views of masculinity. This magazine asks men and women around the world about why it is important for men to be involved in work on gender equality.

NOTE: This completely free trial subscription will start with the Masculinity issue, plus you'll receive the following three issues free of charge, and there's no obligation to continue as a subscriber after that. Many men are getting involved in debates about violence, parenting, relationships, and sexuality. They are questioning the stereotypes of what it is to be a man. And most - but not all - are doing it from a feminist perspective.

The new masculinity brings change for women too

Men's willingness to address how they see themselves is bringing change for women in their lives too. The New Internationalist magazine offers a global perspective.

Breaking out of the prison that is patriarchy

Researchers report on a generation of men who are unafraid of showing affection, and are breaking out of the cycles of violence and the prison that is patriarchy.

Biofuels

The magazine also gives the lowdown on fuel crops. Are any of them any good? Can fuel crops ever be sustainable, or is the notion of turning cropland over to biofuels just a bio-nightmare?

Is animal testing necessary?

In the Argument section of the magazine two activists focus on the key issues in the animal testing debate. Is animal testing necessary to advance medical research, or can the same progress be achieved by other means?
