Presenting GQ's October issue: a special report on the state of the American male in 2025. Think of it as a spiritual successor to 2019’s New Masculinity issue, a deep dive into the promises and pitfalls of modern masculinity. In it, we tackle questions like: How has masculinity evolved? How are men feeling about it? And how should men *be* right now? Of course, we also had some fun with our cover star Glen Powell, the co-creator and star of Chad Powers, who has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most prominent movie stars. The shoot doubles as a playful send-up of the tropes of the hypermasculine cultural moment, and Powell went deep in our interview about what makes a modern leading man. Explore the cover story at the link in bio, and keep an eye out for the rest of the issue, rolling out online in the coming days. https://lnkd.in/ei-_NFHa

1moI love it. The feminist scholar (and my personal mentor) bell hooks said “We live in world that hates men”. Her research on masculinity is exceptional work. This issue is so timely and necessary. I’ll be reading this story on the plane!
