Schwalbe, Pyke and Johnson, we know that there are two subsections in both masculinity and femininity: hegemonic, and subordinate. The hegemony in both gender identities is typically associated with the white, middle class individuals, while the subordination is associated with anything other: the people of color, the economically marginalized, and the non-heterosexuals.

little difference between military values and the message of My Little Pony. An analysis of how masculinity is constructed in military spaces is needed, followed by comparisons between military beliefs and the themes within My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will reveal how closely these two value systems closely align with each other. Military service often draws similarities from traditional masculinities because it merits traits that compliment the dominant form’s value system. Because both ideas

In recent years, masculinity has been said to be in crisis. This situation entails that men are the new disadvantaged, with mental health issues and suicide rates of men increasing while those of women are decreasing, and are becoming increasingly unable to cope with life in general as shown by CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) (Telegraph Men 2014).

there are issues with masculinity and femicide in South Africa; what it means to be a man, the expectations of a man, and the killing of women. This essay is going to discuss the relationship between violence, masculinity and femicide in South Africa using numerous approaches and theories, such as the feminist post-structuralist approach and the theory of hegemonic masculinity. The terms ‘violence’ and ‘power’ need no explaining. However, the terms ‘gender’, ‘femicide’, ‘masculinity’ and ‘hegemony’ are

Masculinity and violence Violence is a mechanism of coercive control that is used to maintain and reinforce gender difference and hierarchy.

through hegemonic constructions formed through colonisation. Due to being constructed by this dominant ideology, which in terms of a New Zealand context is Pakeha and male (Hegemony), the construction of masculinity appears natural. This hegemonic masculinity is so naturalised it becomes invisible and we don’t see or think about it.

This connection with other men is important, and there is a risk of losing masculinity if a man should choose not to participate in homosocial behavior. Even Schwyzer, a pro-feminist thinker, has found himself going along with the banter of his peers out of fear of exclusion. When relationships begin to be formed around ideas that

The viral Dodge Charger Man’s Last Stand (2010) commercial illustrates the loss of masculinity. It aims to reassert a man’s right to control and domination in society through material consumption with blatant sexist messages. Additionally, it highlights cultural, economic and social structures as the root cause of the loss of masculinity.
