As many of our readers know, men have been in the media and under the microscope lately. The media including the recent #Gillette advertising campaign is highlighting "toxic masculinity" in men and exploiting the stereotypes that exist. (What did you think of the Gillette campaign?)
Bloomex thinks that Canadian men demonstrate strength and caring and aren't afraid to show their softer side! We want to show off the kindness and depth of Canadian men who aren't afraid to venture away from the stereotypical "manly man" and bring real variation to light. As Valentine's Day approaches men are all the more overlooked and Bloomex would like to address this too!
We'd like your help to demonstrate that to be a man is to be caring, to be smart, to be sensitive, to be a role model to the next generation, to be uniquely you! Canadian men make a difference in so many lives and we want to feature this! Introducing: Broject Bloomex! The mission: use flowers to symbolize your caring side and to protest one-sided portrayals of toxic men.
We asked some friends and social media Influencers to get things rolling! Check out some of their amazing photos below.
Meet Chad -- Family man and entrepreneur, Chad and his wife incorporated flowers into his awesome beard for a truly creative look!
Chris, business man and husband, used flowers to surprise his wife.
Kyle, Air-soft Player and Gamer, got creative and placed a flower in his air soft gun.
Josh is a Handy-Man and a Musician and enjoys flowers when playing piano with his baby daughter.
