| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Masculinity - Men's health risks Many assert that social pressures to be masculine frequently have a negative affect on men's health, as represented by higher accident rates, death in war, participation in violence and less attention to medical care.
Mortality rates for all of the 15 leading causes of death for the total population are higher for males than females in America. Men die almost seven years earlier than women. Men are more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses, to suffer a traumatic brain injury, and to die from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AID ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia - Gender In a variety of different contexts, gender refers to the masculinity or femininity of words, persons, characteristics, or non-human organisms. The classification into masculine and feminine is analogous to the biological sexes of male and female, often by physical or syntactical analogy, linguistic decay, misunderstandings, societal norms, or personal choice. The nature of this categorisation varies depending on the context. For example, gender can be used to refer to the differences in biological sex betwe ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Metrosexual - Narcissism and Changing Masculinity; the Metrosexual Narcissism is an important element of the metrosexual concept. The metrosexual in its original form, as Simpson intended, is a person who desires to be what he sees in magazines and advertising. In On Narcissism, Sigmund Freud analyzes the psychological aspect of narcissism and comes up with the following explanation for narcissistic love:
"A person may love: (1) According to the narcissistic type: (a) What he is himself, (b) What he once was, (c) What he would like to be, (d) Someone who once was part of himself."

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Talcott Parsons' views of gender roles Working in the United States, Talcott Parsons5 developed a model of the nuclear family in 1955. (At that place and time, the nuclear family was considered to be the prevalent family structure.) It compared a strictly traditional view of gender roles to a more liberal view.
Parsons believed that the feminine role was an expressive one, whereas the masculine role, in his view, was instrumental. He believed that expressive activities of the woman fulfill 'internal' fu ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Gender - Social category Since 1950 an increasing part of the academic literature, and of the public discourse uses gender for the perceived or projected (self-identified) masculinity or femininity of a person. The terms was introduced by Money (1955):
“The term gender role is used to signify all those things that a person says or does to disclose himself or herself as having the status of boy or man, girl or woman, respectively. It includes, but is not restricted to, sexuality in the sense of eroticism.”
A person's gender is complex, ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Culture and Gender roles Ideas of appropriate behaviour according to gender vary among cultures and era, although some aspects receive more widespread attention than others. An interesting case is described by R.W. Connell in Men, Masculinities and Feminism:
"There are cultures where it has been normal, not exceptional, for men to have homosexual relations. There have been periods in 'Western' history when the modern convention that men suppress displays of emotion did not apply at all, when men were demonstrative about their feeling for their friends. Mateship in the Aus ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Changing roles Gender role is composed of several elements. A person's gender role can be expressed through clothing, behaviour, choice of work, personal relationships and other factors.
Gender roles were traditionally divided into strictly feminine and masculine gender roles, though these roles have diversified today into many different acceptable male or female gender roles. However, gender role norm's for women and men can vary significantly from one country or culture to another, even within a country or culture. Peopl ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Societal attitudes towards homosexuality - Stereotypes In Western culture, gay men are often stereotyped as effeminate or sometimes as hypermasculinized (see homomasculinity). The severely homophobic sides of these stereotypes are the effete man in a position of moral authority (such as the pedophile priest or boy scout leader), and the muscle-bound prison rapist.
Lesbians are often stereotyped as being overly masculine or Butch and Femme. Bise ...

| | | | Masculinity - Sociology: Encyclopedia II - Heteronormativity - Heteronormativity and patriarchy Heteronormativity is often strongly associated with (and sometimes even confused with) patriarchy. However, a patriarchal system does not necessarily have a binary gender system, and vice versa; it merely privileges the masculine gender over all others, regardless of the number of others.
Still, heteronormativity is often seen as one of the pillars of a patriarchal society: The traditional role of men is reinforced and perpetuated through heteronormative mores, rules, and even laws that distinguish between individuals based on their a ...
