For example, girls being depicted or treated as sexual objects, or black populations being stereotyped based on their sexual organs. In manliness and civilization: it states how men linked genital anatomy to male identity, therefore arbitrarily linking anatomy and identity to authority and power (as they have no intrinsic relationship) Example: johnson wrapped his penis in gauze during public sparing matches to enhance its size: muscularity: highly valuing a muscular physique & physical strength.
