Document Summary
What a functionalist would say about the concepts. Men and women fall into their gender roles due to the societal need and social stability. Toxicity may not be so bad, there are advantages, such as striving for excellence, beneficial competitiveness. Could lead to eating disorders or agoraphobia. Dq: are there other forms of masculinities. Men who are oppressed by definitions of hegemonic masculinity . Men who aren"t strong or characteristically athletic, bossy. Men who may be positioned powerfully in terms of gender but not in terms of class or race . **this can all be applied to femininity as well. **while there is media which challenge the construct of gender, we so seldom implement these ideas into our daily lives, which is why problems persist regardless of gender positivity on tv. Gender is something we do" as a result of socialization. Allow us to be recognized by others as gendered.
