These posters were put up everywhere, mainly at bus stops. Many men became outraged by this image and vandalised the advertisement screens all over The Netherlands. I think this speaks volumes on how masculinity is presented in media, particularly in fashion, and how this image of homosexuality being put in ordinary spaces such as bus stops reveals how the general public reacts to masculinity being challenged in this way.

Like femininity, masculinity and gender is very much intertwined and present on the intersections of race, class, sexuality et cetera. When talking about masculine identities, one should understand the framework of aspects of a person's social/cultural and political identities combined which results to a better understanding to different modes of privilege. Masculinity has many different definitions in many communities and cultures around the globe. Focusing on the West (Europe), masculinity for black boys and men is mostly defined by historical tropes of poor (Jim Crow), physically strong/dominant, angry black men.
Taking into account that their skin color is very much politicised in our society, black men already stand out - sometimes for the wrong reasons. Redefining masculine fashion seems like a privilege, as the freedom to express yourself through fashion is in a way easier when you know you can take the clothing items off. You can switch from invisible to standing out with fashion, but this is not the case for black young men in some cultures or parts of society. The color of their skin is not invisible - even though many try to argue that they don't see their color - and some black boys therefore don't feel free to redefine their masculine identities as they don't have the privilege to start from a blank page.

One’s notion of masculinity can have different applications in another’s culture. Masculinity for black men for example, generally shapes and progresses differently than white men. This is caused by differences in experiences such as racism and discrimination, which influences the identities of men and masculinity across ethnic backgrounds. 

For black young men growing up in the south side of Rotterdam, this also applies. A lot of black boys growing up in Rotterdam-Zuid, feel the weight of their environment. Most of these young men, like anyone else, learn the value of appearance, and like to wear clothes of luxurious brands. However, it is noticeable that a lot of these black boys are wearing basic t-shirts, often with a logo on their chest appearing to be from known brands like Nike and Northface, blending in with their unadorned surroundings. While it is worth mentioning that their peers are often wearing similar black or white ensembles, it is the intention that might differ from each experience with fashion.

Black young men like Timo, would sometimes rather be unnoticed, more than standing out for any wrong reason. Growing up on the outskirts of Rotterdam-Zuid, The Netherlands, his black skin is not always welcomed in every space he enters. Timo is 18 years old and often hangs out with his friends in the neighbourhood he lives with his parents. Fashion for him is often a means of necessity, and feels like a restricted form of expression. Like most young men his age, Timo likes to wear his tracksuits and comfortable joggers, preferably with a signature Adidas logo to reflect a certain exclusivity that his parents could afford such clothes. He is aware that because of the color of his skin, his outfit can incite preconceived ideas about him. A black boy in a tracksuit chilling on a bench might create the image of lazy boys looking to cause trouble. Fashion can be sensitive rather than liberating for some. Young black boys like Timo are aware of their appearance. In a society in which black boys need to be careful in which way they present themselves, it is conceivable that they feel restricted to express masculinity. There is a lot of pressure on them to not fall into  stereotypes society continuously compares them with. For a boy like Timo, a basic white shirt can feel like an armour, which he can hide behind. 

Basic clothing intersects on vulnerability and strength, as it is about fitting in with their masculine peers and also about a certain invisibility black boys crave in society. Fashion is not always about pushing the boundaries and yearning for exclusivity. Important circumstances such as class and race can strongly influence men's experience with expressing masculinity through fashion, especially amongst men from minority groups. Exploring masculinity can feel like a privilege rather than a liberate act.]]> 2021-01-17 22:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1096316266 lschuurbiers06202011 https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1098385006 2021-01-18 15:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1098385006 lschuurbiers06202011 https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1099149153 Online campaign poster]]> 2021-01-18 21:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1099149153 lschuurbiers06202011 https://padlet.com/lschuurbiers06202011/ouewdozm2syjp12u/wish/1105337522 GUN INTREE (2021)
