Muslim and/or #Arab men are often portrayed as patriarchal and sexist in the traditional and new media. How do Arab men themselves see the issue? Is there genuinely a problem with toxic #masculinity ? And what role do religious beliefs play?
Mohammad, a feminist, and Khalil, a conservative sociology student, engage in a heated discussion in the Moodring.
In the Mood Ring, two people who would probably never have met in real life sit down to talk. They are confronted with statements they react to on the spot. Their reaction determines the lighting: red when they agree and blue when they disagree.
