Anxy Magazine – Issue 4: The Masculinity Issue
Couldn't load pickup availability
Anxy is a beautifully-designed magazine about our inner worlds. Each issue uses a central theme to build an original, insightful, and creative perspective through interviews, personal essays, reported features, visual stories, and recommendations. It's not a scientific journal or a self-help manual. We aren’t telling you how to “fix” yourself. We are Anxy. Aren’t you?
What does it mean to be masculine?
How does masculinity influence our sense of self and the culture around us?
Masculinity isn’t just about men. Masculinity is about everyone—our power, our vulnerability, our self-expression, and our state of mind. Our fourth issue explores the spectrum of masculinity through intimate essays, reported features, insightful interviews, gorgeous photography and more.
