Why MDI?

"I feel like it is my personal duty to better understand myself as a growing man.  Identifying gender ideals and coming to terms with myself and my mascunlinity is something I feel can only help me grow for the future.  With greater self understanding I feel like I can motivate my fellow Johnnies to step up and act out about different issues involving themselves and their own masculinity.  Hopefully bettering the Johnnie community as a whole."

Why MDI?

"I became a part of MDI becasue men are often painted in a negative light and seen as aggressive, promiscous and unemotional among others.  MDI empowers men to take back the paint brush and define their own brand of masculinity."
