"It"
This is one of my personal favorite spoken word performances. While it touches on many different issues it also easily shows how the lines between masculinity and femininity are blurred. It shows that masculinity is not necessarily a trait only of men, but that women can and do possess it too. It also shows the struggles of those who do not feel they fit into this either/or cookie-cutter shape of masculine or feminine.
I really loved this. It is nice to see another perspective on masculinity that shows men aren't the only ones who can be masculine. This video was definitely eye opening and inspirational.
