The Performance of Masculinity

Not really worth the read. More simplification of complex issues and blaming patriarchy (kyriarchy is just a re-branding).

Interesting.

After we come up with this list, I ask the group to name the things that men are called if we’re not all of these things. Here are some of the more common responses:

gay fag girl weak sissy punk bitch loser pussy wimp

There is significant similarity between this list of shaming language for men who are not in the "man box" and the shaming language used against MRAs.

Obviously, to observe that you perceive yourself disadvantaged in any way is to step outside the man box. But it's odd that those feminists that resort to shaming language seem to be trying to push us back into it. Could it be that feminists receive more benefits from the "hegemonic masculinity" of the man box than they admit to?
