In this issue we again have an international cast of authors with submissions from Australia, Canada, India, and the USA.

As usual, the Journal brings its readers challenging and thought provoking content intended to challenge currently accepted ‘wisdom’ and traditional schools of thought in the case of this issue exploring topics intended to enrich our contemporary  understanding of maleness.

As always the authors present their positions with well-reasoned argument underpinned by considered thought, sound evidence and in selected cases, lived experience.

It  should be noted note that the opinions expressed by the authors herein do not necessarily reflect those of the Journal Editorial team. Papers offered here are presented  in the spirit of open, evidence based dialogue regarding gender, relationships and related issues.

We hope you enjoy reading the eclectic mix of articles in this first issue of the Journal for 2018.
