‘I don’t care if men find me attractive’: The

22 Sep

When Joanie O’Mara, 28, stopped shaving her legs, it made her feel “really self-conscious.” She had learned to embrace body hair in other areas because it felt more deliberate – “more punk and feminist” – but leg hair remained contentious in her mind. Unlike armpit hair and pubic hair, it felt neither defiant nor erotic. “Legs are just legs,” she says, “so it’s perceived as unkempt.” Earlier this month, Phoebe Bridgers walked the carpet at Venice Film Festival with visible leg hair beneath her tailored Gucci skirt suit.

This film gives looksmaxxing men the body horror treatment

Looksmaxxing (2026)Gallery / 9 images It’s tempting to frame Looksmaxxing (2026) as the male answer to 2024’s feminist body horror The Substance. Following a “dopamine-depleted young man” named Niles, played by actor and skateboarder Sunny Suljic, the short film follows his spiralling obsession with hyper-masculine beauty standards, via toxic influencers, a DIY drug protocol sourced from the shady fringes of the web, a talking tumour, and bone smashing. By now, US-based writer and director Elan Alexander is used to the comparison. But, as he points out, the script predated Coralie Fargeat’s hit film by some time.

Five gay men from Grindr on hooking-up, body image,

Grindr by Dexter Lander8 Images Welcome to Behind The Masc: Rethinking Masculinity, a campaign dedicated to exploring what ‘masculinity’ means in 2019. With photo stories shot in Tokyo, India, New York, and London and in-depth features exploring mental health, older bodybuilders, and myths around masculinity – we present all the ways people around the world are redefining traditional tropes. Growing up gay, wherever you are, is difficult. Though, right now in places like Chechnya and Brazil, the status of homosexuality by proxy leaves you vulnerable and in danger – simply for just existing. The queer experience is often so isolating, that even for those with a strong support network, the fear of being cast out by the ones we love is overwhelming. There’s a beacon of...
