masculinity

Feminists are taking advantage of the discussion to reshape the definition of “proper” masculinity into something that serves their own agenda.

Where hegemonic masculinity theory gets things wrong is how society has always and continues to frame the “ideal” form of masculinity.

There’s no consensus on what masculine traits are, but common ones include self-reliance, competitiveness, aggression and promiscuity (something usually promoted for modern “liberated” women).
