Ok so I have now done research on the effects of masculinity and here is what I have:
a. Not surprisingly, pornography reflects that conception of masculinity; men generally are trained to view sex as a realm of life in which men are naturally dominant and women’s sexuality should conform to men’s needs. (2)
b. 90,000 women are rapped each year in the U.S. (Macionis 236)
a. Men may swap insults, argue, or challenge each other’s strength or manhood. Homicides outside pubs and in the street are often the result of contests over male honor, according to a study of homicides in Victoria. (3)
b. the presence of others was the only predicted significant finding in relation to violence. Incidents containing third party presence were more likely to be violent. (9)
a. Grounded theory analysis of interviews with 22 incarcerated men identified three categories of themes in participants' accounts of intimate partner violence: justifications ('she disrespected me as a man'; 'a man has a right to control his woman' (5)
a. As men seek control over [other men], they lose opportunities for intimacy and trust. (Macionis 329)
a. A look at ways to deal with homophobia in the US Bible Belt suggests that the best strategy may be to "develop a shared bonding between masculine alienation & homophobic anxieties on one hand & as an entree into empathy for the rights of lesbians & gays on the other." (10)
b. “men don't have friends anymore. We don't dare expose our shortcomings to other guys--they would get uncomfortable and ridicule us just as they did in adolescence. And if they were kind and loving, our own homophobia would cause us to recoil.” (1)
