Advice we didn't need, from men we didn't ask.

The Zine

Almost everyone will receive unwanted advice at some point in their life. In my own experience this advice is almost exclusively from men, and when discussing this on social media, I found that others had been in similar situations. This zine collects stories of unsolicited advice submitted by individuals from all over the world. Contributors have received advice on a huge range of subjects, including food, hair styling, sex, careers, health, driving, breast feeding, music, their perceived ability to attract a husband and more: all from men who appear to truly believe they're being helpful.

What Do I Get When I Order?

Printing Process

This zine was printed and assembled in Scotland by the superb Risotto Studio. Risography is an energy efficient and sustainable print process: you can read more about our trip to Risotto Studios and about the process of zine printing on our blog. Please note riso printing isn't like digital printing: each zine will have imperfections, small marks, ink overlay and other little quirks. This is part of it's beauty, your zine is unique!
