Document Summary
Conceptualizing masculinity: men viewed as monolithic block, hierarchy of men and masculinity (not a monolithic block) Set the tone for what a man is supposed to be hegemonic (dominant, entrenched form of masculinity) all the clich s of men. Reworked in a way that challenges and reconigures hegemonic form of masculinity. Ways men and women grapple with ideals and rework them into their lifestyle: masculinity in a broader context that is always changing in relaion to social and cultural construcions of what it means to be a man. Masculinity in bwaise: how diferent ideals interact with each other, male economic provider. Women working: men"s authority in the home. A priori something that is assumed without reference from former experience. Making large scale assumpions instead of basing assumpions on individuals example of how class intersects with hiv and why poverty maters. Sex in africa only thought of as a problem only perpetuates our deep seeded stereotypes of africa and african men.
