Portion of title Violence, media, and the crisis in masculinity
Contents Understanding violent masculinity -- Violent masculinity in action -- Interview with Jackson Katz.
Abstract Looks systematically at the relationship between the images of popular culture and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the end of the 20th century. Jackson Katz argues that there is a crisis in masculinity and that some of the guises offered to men as a solution (e.g., rugged individualism, violence) come loaded with attendant dangers to women, as well as other men.
