Editor’s Note: This week, our artist-in-residence, Judy Clement Wall, was inspired for “The Visual Conversation” by Good Men Project editor Mark Greene‘s compelling video on the Man Box, as well as other articles published on the site that address the restrictive and damaging aspects of traditional masculinity. As always, we encourage readers to build on “The Visual Conversation” and create an actual conversation in the comments.

Amen back, C. xo
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (no doubt to the point of boring a lot of people): There have been men of great courage who never enjoyed sports.
I couldn’t agree more. (And smart, wonderful women who don’t like to shop.)
