Fear of Men

By Merlin Simard

What does sexism look like when no man is present? How does it affect trans and gender non-conforming communities? And most importantly: How do we move forward? FEAR OF MEN is a series of multilingual monologues that explore the pervasiveness of sexism across genders. At the height of gender-based violence, we have a duty to examine the ways in which we create oppression — consciously or not.
