    Female Masculinity

    In this quintessential work of queer theory, Jack Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two centuries.Demonstrating how female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders, Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances. Through detailed textual readings as well as empirical research, Halberstam uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities while arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that would incorporate rather than pathologize them.He rereads Anne Lister's diaries and Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness as foundational assertions of female masculine identity; considers the enigma of the stone butch and the politics surrounding butch/femme roles within lesbian communities; and explores issues of transsexuality among “transgender dykes”—lesbians who pass as men—and female-to-male transsexuals who may find the label of “lesbian” a temporary refuge.Halberstam also tackles such topics as women and boxing, butches in Hollywood and independent cinema, and the phenomenon of male impersonators. Featuring a new preface by the author, this twentieth anniversary edition of Female Masculinity remains as insightful, timely, and necessary as ever.

  • Masculinity in Transition
    Masculinity in Transition

    Locating the roots of toxic masculinity and finding its displacement in unruly culture Masculinity in Transition analyzes shifting relationships to masculinity in canonical works of twentieth-century literature and film, as well as in twenty-first-century media, performance, and transgender poetics.Focusing on “toxic masculinity,” which has assumed new valence since 2016, K.Allison Hammer traces its roots to a complex set of ideologies embedded in the histories of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and political fraternity, and finds that while toxic strains of masculinity are mainly associated with straight, white men, trans and queer masculinities can be implicated in these systems of power. Hammer argues, however, that these malignant forms of masculinity are not fixed and can be displaced by “unruly alliances”—texts and relationships that reject the nationalisms and gender politics of white male hegemony and perform an urgently needed reimagining of what it means to be masculine.Locating these unruly alliances in the writings, performances, and films of butch lesbians, gay men, cisgender femmes, and trans and nonbinary individuals, Masculinity in Transition works through an archive of works of performance art, trans poetics, Western films and streaming media, global creative responses to HIV/AIDS, and working-class and “white trash” fictions about labor and unionization. Masculinity in Transition moves the study of masculinity away from an overriding preoccupation with cisnormativity, whiteness, and heteronormativity, and toward a wider and more generative range of embodiments, identifications, and ideologies.Hammer’s bold rethinking of masculinity and its potentially toxic effects lays bare the underlying fragility of normative masculinity.

  • Masculinity in American Politics
    Masculinity in American Politics

    How elements of masculinity manifest themselves in all aspects of American political lifeWhile hardly a new phenomenon, masculinity—which includes elements of toughness, independence, and leadership, among others—roared onto the national political stage in America with the 2016 candidacy, election, and presidency of Donald Trump.Research into masculinity dates back over a century, but little attention has been paid to the specific role of masculinity in politics beyond the conventional wisdom that it, rather than femininity, is the dominant force.This lack of research has led to a lack of knowledge on how exactly, and how much, masculinity shapes political structures, attitudes and behaviors, from children’s socialization to our masculine political world, to how a new generation views this traditional dominance. In Masculinity in American Politics, Monika L. McDermott and Dan Cassino bring together a prestigious group of interdisciplinary scholars to explore these questions and their implications for different aspects of political life.Topics include the challenge of defining and measuring masculinity, how perceptions of gender and masculinity can shape campaign messaging strategies and public opinion, and other discussions of political identity, including age, race, and ethnicity. With contributions from Melissa Deckman, Jill S. Greenlee, Amanda Bittner, and other high-profile scholars, this comprehensive volume provides insight into masculinity and its high-stakes political manifestations, particularly as Gen Z fights to redefine the contours of their own gender and sexuality.Drawing upon insights from politics, sociology, psychology, and the broader social sciences, Masculinity in American Politics pushes the field to look “beyond the binary” and illuminate this brave, new world of political conflict and possibility.

  • How is intersectional masculinity research related to hegemonic masculinity?

    Intersectional masculinity research is related to hegemonic masculinity in that it seeks to understand how different social identities, such as race, class, and sexuality, intersect with masculinity to shape men's experiences and expressions of gender. While hegemonic masculinity focuses on the dominant and idealized form of masculinity within a given society, intersectional masculinity research recognizes that men's experiences of masculinity are shaped by a variety of intersecting factors. By examining how different forms of masculinity intersect with other social identities, intersectional masculinity research challenges the notion of a singular, monolithic form of masculinity and highlights the diversity and complexity of men's experiences.

  • What is masculinity?

    Masculinity is a set of qualities, behaviors, and attributes traditionally associated with men and boys. These can include traits such as strength, assertiveness, independence, and competitiveness. However, it is important to recognize that masculinity is not a fixed or universal concept, and can vary across cultures and individuals. It is also important to challenge harmful stereotypes and expectations that can limit the full expression of masculinity.

  • Is there toxic masculinity?

    Yes, toxic masculinity refers to harmful behaviors and attitudes associated with traditional masculinity norms that can be harmful to both men and society as a whole. This can include traits such as aggression, dominance, and the suppression of emotions. It can contribute to issues such as violence, sexism, and mental health struggles. It is important to challenge and address toxic masculinity in order to promote healthier and more positive expressions of masculinity.

  • What demonstrates more masculinity?

    Masculinity is not defined by specific actions or behaviors, as it is a complex and multifaceted concept that can vary greatly among individuals. However, traditionally masculine traits such as physical strength, assertiveness, and emotional stoicism have often been associated with masculinity. It is important to remember that masculinity is not limited to these traits and can be expressed in a variety of ways that are unique to each person. Ultimately, true masculinity is about being authentic to oneself and embracing a healthy balance of traits that align with one's values and beliefs.

  • What shows more masculinity?

    Masculinity is a complex and multifaceted concept that can be expressed in various ways. Traditionally, traits such as physical strength, assertiveness, and emotional stoicism have been associated with masculinity. However, true masculinity is not limited to these stereotypes and can also include qualities such as vulnerability, empathy, and compassion. Ultimately, what shows more masculinity is being true to oneself and embracing a healthy balance of both traditional and modern interpretations of masculinity.

  • Is traditional masculinity harmful?

    Traditional masculinity can be harmful as it often promotes rigid gender roles that can limit men's emotional expression and lead to toxic behaviors such as aggression and dominance. This can have negative impacts on men's mental health and relationships. Encouraging men to conform to traditional masculine norms can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to gender inequality. However, it is important to recognize that masculinity itself is not inherently harmful, but rather the societal expectations and pressures associated with traditional masculinity can be damaging.

  • Do women like masculinity?

    Women have diverse preferences, so it is not accurate to make a blanket statement about whether all women like masculinity. Some women may be attracted to traditionally masculine traits such as strength, assertiveness, and confidence, while others may prefer different qualities in a partner. Ultimately, individual preferences vary and it is important to respect and appreciate the unique qualities that each person finds attractive.

  • Is masculinity suppressed nowadays?

    Masculinity is not necessarily suppressed nowadays, but rather it is being redefined and reevaluated. Traditional notions of masculinity, such as stoicism and dominance, are being challenged and replaced with more inclusive and diverse understandings of what it means to be a man. This shift is allowing men to express a wider range of emotions, interests, and behaviors without fear of being seen as less masculine. While there are still societal pressures and expectations placed on men, there is also a growing movement towards embracing a more fluid and authentic expression of masculinity.
