About Stories of Men

We are your hub for exploring relational manhood and finding examples of it in our entertainment.

Stories of Men is a community-driven project dedicated to changing the way we think about masculinity in media. Using the Men in Media (MIM) test, we (and you!) evaluate movies and TV shows based on how they portray male characters — specifically, whether those characters demonstrate relational manhood or if they uphold or question dominance-based masculinity.

We believe that the stories we consume shape the way we understand ourselves and each other. By highlighting media that portrays healthier models of masculinity, we hope to contribute to a cultural shift toward more authentic, connected, and compassionate ways of being a man.
