#hegemonic masculinity

[connoisseursdecomfort]

Yor doesn’t deserve this.

Ridiculously this is hegemonic masculinity at its finest - there is this superior masculinity that rejects all feminine qualities, and anyone who’s not strong, independent, smart, tough, etc. enough would be rejected. Note that being masculine is not being biologically male. This is toxic, because no one is allowed to express vulnerability when the notion of femininity is being marginalised. Thus Yor is reduced to be this character that “lacks personality”.

Endo doesn’t want her to be just soft and sweet and sexy and strong. Like any other human, she is very self-conscious when she doesn’t fit in, and all of these discussions really show how realistic it is for Yor to feel insecure - she is too muscle-head and strong to be feminine in the eyes of the Asian readers, but too sensitive, gentle and ditzy to be masculine. She is not created to fit any standards, and therefore deemed a failure in every reader who sought to make another exemplary woman of this modern age. She has to be perfect, but she will never be.

And somehow they have to come up with this very original attack and throw it at Yor - by calling her “a ditzy schoolgirl”. You’ve got to know you are in the wrong if you sound like an old straight white male. (I mean wtf why a ditzy schoolgirl?) Again, by making her inferior - calling her young, stupid and feminine like “a ditzy schoolgirl”, they get to prove two male characters from another anime superior. It’s not that serious when men can’t keep their house clean (which I agree, I’m not much better), but it’s very serious when a woman, who cleans, has been the breadwinner since a very young age, basically perfectly balances two jobs, and takes good care of her loved ones, couldn’t “act her age”.

Coincidentally, they also try to make Loid a lesser man by having another male character baring his upper body and showing his muscles. Loid is said to be inferior because he only gets “dust bunnies” in his head. Even if it’s real, which it is definitely not, isn’t it still the same thing? Why is a man inferior if he’s more feminine? I thought we’re way past this, but I guess this really needs to be discussed over and over and over again.

Again, if you prefer other animes, it’s fine. It’s not fine when you do this. No hate on the anime and the characters. But this kind of bullshit deserves every single drop of hate.

The masculinities of the PSB are inclusive of physical sensuality, rather than traditional masculine stoicism and cerebral transcendence of the corporeal. Male bodies are visually dominant throughout: bodies of sailors, young and old, clothed and bare, virile and aged, robust and dead, powerful and vulnerable. The film is rife with phallic imagery: spyglasses, fishing poles, bullet-shaped missiles cradled at waist level and, most obviously, the recurrent gun turrets where rebelling sailors gather, raising and lowering like erections in the foreground of the frame. During the Odessa Steps sequence, a single-amputee man on crutches is in the crowd and a double amputee is prominent when a mother confronts soldiers with the body of her son they have killed. The body of sailor Vakulinchuk inspires Odessa’s citizens to support Potemkin. As a boat carries Vakulinchuk’s body into Odessa, ‘To the Shore’ (track 6 [2.20]) introduces the primary string motive of the James Bond title theme from You Only Live Twice, originally sung by gay camp icon Nancy Sinatra...

... Physical pleasure and carnality are expressed in the throbbing dance beats underscoring revolution on ship, on the steps and facing the squadron. The very catalyst for the revolt, sailors rejecting spoiled meat, is not solely a rational assertion of nourishment needs but also a demand for sensual pleasure: we deserve something that tastes better. ‘Men and Maggots’, playing over the scenes of infected meat, samples ‘Charade’ (track 2 [0.21]), a sad song of failed love in a theatrical metaphor, written by masters of sentimental popular song, Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. The song is the theme of a film of the same name starring boyish Audrey Hepburn (masculinely nicknamed ‘Reggie’) and urbane and allegedly gay Cary Grant, both of whose counterhegemonic genders resonate with those in PSB’s work. Grant’s role in this film is significant, as his character assumes four different identities, each shown in the film’s final image, over which Hepburn’s character expresses her wish for them to have lots of boys so she can name them after his aliases. The allusion here resonates physical pleasure (taste) with literally the production and performance of multiple, variant – but not oppositional – masculine identities.

It's not important if your nickname is Don Quixote rather than Tyler Durden, because both of them have something in common: they make automatically your argumentations invalid. Don Quixote was insane and had hallucinations, while Tyler Durden is the hallucination produced by a disturbed mind.

On one hand Don Quixote lives in a mythologized past that never existed and, instead of trying to understand the evolutions of society and questioning his “ancient” way of thinking, he escapes from a reality, a present that he doesn't understand anymore (or doesn't feel as his own), on the other hand Tyler Durden is the unrealistic ideal of masculinity diffused by media and created by the same consumeristic and capitalistic culture Tyler Durden fights. They are both illusions, intrinsically contradictory falsehoods.

your height is static, right? like… once you’re an adult, you’re probably going to stay roughly the same height for the rest of your life.

if I walk into a room where the average height is 140cm then I, at 165cm, am probably going to feel pretty darn tall. if I walk into a room where the average height is 180cm, I’m going to feel short. other people in the room are probably going to treat me differently depending on if I’m relatively tall or relatively short.

has my height changed? no.

only the context has changed.

except… imagine that there’s a standard height range in Britain that is acceptable for short people, and a range that is acceptable for tall people. the ranges are different in Japan. now, if you enter the room whilst too short to fit the tall range but too tall to fit the short range, you have to physically change your height in order to be accepted.

for a lot of people, gender is the same. one action is gendered a certain way in a room full of men and gendered the opposite way in a room full of women. or a room full of British people vs a room full of Japanese people. people have to change how they act in order to be perceived correctly, and are at risk of violence if they don’t slot perfectly into what is “acceptable” given that context

hope this makes sense

The struggle at the core of the trans male experience is against what's known as Hegemonic Masculinity. That's the way Men(tm)- cis het white men maintain superiority status in society by excluding everyone viewed as inferior.

So theres this really exclusive club that you can only be born into, and the rules of the club say: "Only the Super Special Members of the Super Special Club can have the Super Special Stuff. You can't have the Super Special Stuff because you're not Super Special🖕!!" And failure to comply with these rules can get you mocked, villinized, beaten, or killed- That's hegemonic masculinity. It's the enforcement of misogyny and colonialism through exclusion.

Being trans masc inherently fucks with this power system. By claiming maleness, manhood, or masculinity we prove that they are not exclusive to the Super Special Members and that all the Super Special nonsense is just delusions of grandeur.

Trans femmes do this in the other direction. Proving that femininity and womanhood are desirable and valuable even over their alleged 'superior'.

The struggle against hegemonic masculinity is not exclusive to trans mascs. Like I said in another post about this topic; It's a battle that's shared between POC (BIPOC especially), all women, and queer people of all shapes and shades.

Our existence as human people undermines the power of Man(tm) as a social class.

And the more underminey we get the harder we're punished to maintain order.

Joy in Expansive Variation

https://www.tumblr.com/conarcoin/707384949821538304/nah-fuck-this-im-not-white-but-we-do-not-need-to?source=share

Yeah to add to what conarcoin says (had to do a separate post to make it clear we weren’t endorsing the video because the video is ridiculous), so we’re gonna pretend now that the overlap between ND and trans folks across racial categories during the ramp up of trans genocide in the USA means that white trans people with mental issues aren’t oppressed huh?

We’re sorry but like, the body we have is white but on account of gender and our brain we still went through hell and still get hell on occasion in a society structurally designed to wear us down either onto the streets or into an institution or dead etc. etc. Like, what? Did we not get sexually harassed several times and freeze up even though our oldest headmate before most of us were around knew martial arts because she had never really been prepared for the way things happened? Did we not get traumatized in school and experience ostracism and end up suicidal? Have we not experienced microagressions at work and threats in the public bathroom? Were we not categorically denied knowledge and actuation that would have made us happy when we were younger? What is this shit. Us talking about it and reclaiming it isn’t social currency- it is agency, it is trying to make a little joy in this often miserable world of hegemonies that we and so many struggle against. We will grant that there are white people who try to do oppression Olympics and who have a puritan punitive policing mentality about liberation which does a disservice to the very idea of liberation and solidarity, but celebrating parts of us that hegemonic masculinity (the international systems of the patriarchy and all the imperial and capitalist stuff that comes with it) wants us tokenised, bled dry from alienated labor, dead, shunned, or repeatedly abused for is not something that is not trying to claim something that isn’t ours.

So there you have our life- but brown and black people like us have it much worse than we do. We’re not going to get into that, they can do that if they want. If people really need to know about some of the messed up imperial shit, go read Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity by C. Riley Snorton, Deviant Care for Deviant Futures: QTBIPoC Radical Relationism as Mutual Aid Against Carceral Care by Ren Yo-Hwang, Anarcho-Blackness by Marquis Bey, Giuseppe Campuzano’s Afterlife: Toward a Travesti Methodology for Critique, Care, and Radical Resistance by Malú Machuca Rose, I Monster: Embodying Trans and Travesti Resistance in Latin America by Joseph M. Pierce and OVERCOMING HETERONORMATIVE HEGEMONY: QUEER RESISTANCE TO NEOLIBERALISM IN CHILE by SHYAM ANAND SINGH  to start to get a picture of it (this is not at all an exhaustive list nor could it ever be, also we are out of spoons after a generally awful day). Would also just generally recommend Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis.

So yeah, with all due respect, no. While we are more on the aesthetic read of gender (a discussion for another time) we think Gender as Accumulation Strategy by Kay Gabriel is very relevant in regards to how the fight for trans rights must be framed in a pluralistic form of solidarity.

And we haven’t even talked about plurality!?! Because we honestly don’t know what literature to recommend on plural BiPoC oppression or plural oppression generally. We have not gotten around to reading about it we can only speak to community knowledge and personal experiences and what we can infer from the ND community not getting treated very well by the medical system or by police and many other institutions e.g. with anxiety and ADD (things we have). We will at least say that if you want a non-western, spiritual look at a much older understanding of systems than the recent word plural that also tangles with aesthetic stuff, go read Freshwater by  Akwaeke Emezi.

What does ‘hegemonic masculinity’ look like in the contemporary gender order?

Raewyn Connell’s Masculinities (1999) provides readers with a useful hierarchal structure called the gender order. She dissects gender into four forms of masculinity with a heavy focus on social elements such as class, ethnicity, and sexuality, to name a few. At the benchmark of masculinity sits what Connell refers to as ‘hegemonic masculinity.’ Connell argues that hegemonic masculinity grows most distinct in its opposition to femininity. However, hegemonic masculinity alongside the subgroups of masculinity that sit beneath them are fluidly dependent on the culture they exist in. This essay will focus on providing a detailed illustration to readers of hegemonic masculinity within contemporary western culture.

Those categorised as hegemonically masculine exercise authoritative dominance over the rest of their peers on a on a consistent basis. One may perceive someone exemplifying hegemonic masculinity as a white, wealthy, prestigious, and heteronormative member of society. In an interview with UCLovain, Connell discusses the risk factors that arise from the socio-political forces that hegemonic masculinity represents, referring to a certain disregard for the consequences for others that may arise, as a result of their actions from positions of power. An example that aligns with what Connell describes can be seen in HBO’s TV series Succession (2018). Vaguely inspired by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, protagonist Logan Roy lives to accumulate wealth and vast control over western society. Every decision he makes is solely based on profit maximisation and the emptiness, depravity and disconnectedness of his children is symbolic in this regard. Logan’s children seem to exert what feels like an abundance of power over the western sphere. However, when examining their careers and motives more closely, one will catch a glimpse of the puppet-master’s strings. Even in the children’s most independent roles, it grows clear that their intentions lie thickly in either attempting to gain their father’s approval, or in acting out of spite against him. Logan’s sons (particularly Kendall and Roman Roy) borderline between hegemonic and complicit masculinity, in that their influence and capital is mostly dependent on their father’s empire and the large dose of nepotism that comes with that.

Corporate examples of hegemonic masculinity seem most appropriate to refer to within the contemporary gender order due to their status as beneficiaries in this capitalist and neoliberal society. Neoliberal features of contemporary culture are important to note, as it means figures of hegemonic masculinity’s duties (such as paying significantly larger sums of their wealth in taxes to the state) to support less privileged members of society are more or less slackened. Benefits of hegemonic masculinity being consciously reaped at the expense of others is what Connell refers to as the patriarchal bargain. As a heterosexual man, rejecting the feminine and embracing their own masculine traits and the rewards that accompany them in a patriarchal society, whether they do so consciously or not. Stephen Schacht acknowledges this by dividing the men that receive patriarchal gain by being born into this world a cis, heterosexual man, from those consciously acting against the interests of anybody who experiences adversity via patriarchal means.

So I watched this video...

And the essayist suggests a major part of it is due to the fairly positive representation of a queer couple in Sailor Moon in the form of Sailors Uranus and Neptune. (That's only part of it, very good video, I just want to write out my thoughts in a word-vomit style while drinking some coffee so here we are)...

I think it's a little more than that though. Now, I'm fond of being overly reductive sometimes and saying something like "Sailor Moon made me gay" (and I'm using "gay" in its umbrella queer sense here).

But, whether someone can be turned gay aside (which, for the record, I come down somewhere around they basically can't unless they're bisexual), it wasn't the positive representation of Uranus and Neptune that did it. It was Season 1 of Sailor Moon.

It wasn't just a positive queer relationship in whatever season Uranus and Neptune came in (they were portrayed as cousins so until I went to the Internet to learn the truth there was nothing there for me even ignoring it was a later season), and it wasn't even the bisexual wonder girl that is Usagi/Serena who freely adored and went lovestruck over competent and beautiful women. With Mamoru/Darien kidnapped/brainwashed for half the first season anyway (and also inexplicably much older than he was in the manga), the relationship between her and Rei was so much more interesting and one where the characters could actually speak to each other, but it wasn't even thinking that Serena should be with Raye...

Aside: if you don't think Usagi is bi then I don't know what to tell you. Yes, Mamoru is her true love or whatever, but the girl's main characteristic is how freely and deeply she loves. She was interested in Sailor V way before she was interested in Tuxedo Kamen / Tuxedo Mask. (I'm half-joking because there's no explicit canonization of Usagi being bi—AFAIK—but I really cannot imagine her being any other way. I just see her as a bi girl in a heterosexual relationship).

Even beyond all that, the series Sailor Moon was possibly the first series I saw which treated women/girls as people and portrayed women favorably, let alone portrayed queer relationships and queer characters favorably (which was not done in the original American edit of the first season).

The women of Sailor Moon could be boy-crazy and ditzy, but they could also be heroic and self-sacrificing, studious, strong, smart, cool, collected... and yes, they were all beautiful. Even Zoisite—who I only later found out was a man—was gorgeous.

Sailor Moon loves women, and there's not much gayer than loving women.

Specifically, in the society of toxic masculinity / hegemonic masculinity / "the patriarchy", valuing women as people goes directly against how women get portrayed. It's not that valuing women is inherently anti-cishet, it's that the concept of being cis and heterosexual itself has gotten wrapped up in the toxicity so anything that rejects that norm is gay.

I'm not saying anything new here, though academic sources tend to default to "queer" instead of "gay", so I'll switch to that umbrella term now.

Valuing women as people is queer in the same way that the Addams Family is queer. Morticia and Gomez's relationship is a queer relationship in that it is a rejection of the patriarchy and a rejection of the cishet norms of hating your spouse and treating them as a burden you're saddled with.

There's a common sentiment in analyzing cishet men's relationships with women of saying something along the lines of, "do straight guys even like women? You guys can be gay. You don't have to pursue women romantically if you don't like them" and beyond what individual cis and heterosexual men may think about women, it is 100% true that the patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity don't like women.

At least part of the fear of "AI" is that hegemonic masculinity would lead to a conclusion of rejecting women in favor of love-bots. This only makes sense if the people doing the rejecting don't actually like women and just see them as objects, but that's what hegemonic masculinity teaches.

So yes, whether you're a cis man or something else entirely, loving women is queer. And Sailor Moon loves women.

It probably doesn't stand up to modern sensibilities, but my pre-teen mind only ever saw how incredible it was to be a bishoujo senshi when I was watching. The "camera" definitely highlighted how beautiful the women were (especially in their transformation scenes) but it only ever felt glorifying and exultant, and it did not feel exploitative or creepy.

With the exception of comic characters (Melvin/Umino, Chad/Yuichiro, Rei's grandfather, etc.), ALL of the characters were slender and long-limbed. That came off as simply the style of the show and not something about sexualizing the characters. Loads of issues with the lack of body diversity, but it was always so firmly celebrating these characters (who were all women/girls).

And, loving women is queer.

I honestly don't know how I would have turned out without having Sailor Moon in my life. Especially, so many incredible fanfiction stories that were even better than the series (though loads of exploitative and misogynistic ones too, which was always such a shock to stumble across).

Growing up in the 1990s, I was in social settings where the default was to be openly derisive and misogynistic towards women. (It's probably still broadly that way, I just am able to curate who I'm around now in a way you can't growing up). But having the example of positive women character representations (and also seeing how pretty people can be, both inside and out) was such a solace to child-Me. I'm grateful for having that representation even if it wasn't the queer representation I needed, it was the positive women representation I was desperate for back then.

Anyway, as much as I love the idea of Rei/Usagi, my favorite stories kept Usagi with Mamoru and had Rei with Minako. I get that Minako gets characterized as a Usagi clone/replacement (which is ironic), so it may seem that I'm just filling in, but in-text, Usagi and Mamoru are basically always together / in love with each other romantically and I never really questioned that so seeing so many incredible Reinako stories made that couple pretty solid in my head. I'm honestly not opposed to Usagi being in a poly relationship, but those fanfiction stories tended to be more lemons than character exploration.

TL;DR: Why are magical girls so gay? Because they portray women positively and that's extremely, extremely gay (in the sense that it is aligned against hegemonic masculinity and the patriarchy).

“One of the hallmarks of childhood and many cultures is the emergence of gender segregation… gender segregation, which is vigorously enforced by other children, remains until heterosocial and heterosexual relationships begin to emerge in adolescence…While there are many toys and games that appeal to both girls and boys, when children play in gender-segregated groups, they tend to develop different skills and corresponding social norms…By the time they reach adolescence, boys are more likely to have prepared to view relationships in terms of greater independence and dominance, whereas girls have been prepared to view them in terms of nurturance and support. Boys’ gender-segregated play is more likely to prepare them for success in the workplace, while girls’ segregated play is more likely to prepare them for success at home.” - Kristin J. Anderson (Modern Misogyny: Anti-Feminism in a Post-Feminist Era)

Hegemonic masculinity was distinguished from other masculinities, especially subordinated masculinities. Hegemonic masculinity was not assumed to be normal in the statistical sense; only a minority of men might enact it. But it was certainly normative. It embodied the currently most honored way of being a man, it required all other men to position themselves in relation to it, and it ideologically legitimated the global subordination of women to men. Men who received the benefits of patriarchy without enacting a strong version of masculine dominance could be regarded as showing a complicit masculinity. It was in relation to this group, and to compliance among heterosexual women, that the concept of hegemony was most powerful. Hegemony did not mean violence, although it could be supported by force; it meant ascendancy achieved through cul ture, institutions, and persuasion

If someone told you “transandrophobia” means “men are oppressed as a social class” then you’ve been straight up misinformed. Is there probably someone out there who uses it like that? Yeah. Is that how most people use it? No. The only thing connecting people who use that word is the belief that transmasculine people experience an intersection of transphobia and misogyny. Genuinely that is all.

#I also use ‘non-hegemonic masculinity’ as another intersection that influences transmascs’ experiences #that is NOT the same as thinking men are oppressed for being men & not everybody uses that part #it doesnt mean misandry is real. it doesn’t mean trans women oppress trans men. it doesn’t mean transmascs can’t be (trans)misogynistic #transandrophobia #transmisogyny #intracommunity issues tag #mine

hegemonic masculinity, butch edition

one version of masculinity is upheld as the One True Masculinity

deliberate exclusion of people who don’t fit into that masculinity

explicit and implicit ranking of people based on their adherence to the butch ideal

the butch ideal has become a way of expressing white supremacy, ableism, and transphobia

the butch ideal must be protected at all costs

individual butch people who fit into the ideal are not to blame for the structures that reinforce that ideal. it’s more of a collective effort within communities to reinforce particular gender norms

the other key difference is that there is no such thing as butch privilege in the same way as hegemonic male privilege — it’s just that some butch people have privilege over other butch people

thinking more about how gender scripts, gender expression, and theories like hegemonic masculinity interact with how Richards defined emo as "a response to the tumultuous everything-else that exists outside our heads", as an "expression of the innermost self" and ultimately as emotional and vulnerable music.

approaching an understanding of masculinity and femininity with a western theoretical lens, it would subvert expectations of traditional (hegemonic) masculinity for men to be emotional and vulnerable, which is a hallmark of the scene. however, it's hard to argue that the scene overall subverted (or was working towards the subversion of) many other traditional masculine gender roles, and it was (is) rife with misogyny.

I guess I am thinking about...who benefited (and profited) from creating emotional and vulnerable music (for men, performing what some masculinity scholars refer to as alternate masculinities). and how does that performance (both of the music and of gender) and the value & acclaim of that performance differ for women, for trans men and trans women, and nonbinary and gender nonconforming artists

#thinking a lot about this this afternoon #just never really thought about the implications of like. being emotional and vulnerable as this huge leap for hardcore and punk scenes #and the implication of men in particular being credited for introducing this sub-genre and style #honestly any excuse to apply the theory of hegemonic masculinity to music. my beloved beloved gender order theory
