Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role
Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse
associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on
males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them,
and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to
measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be
manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role
stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in
psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out
in media warrant further study given that representations offer
audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to
toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient,
to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression
to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that
can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars
and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will
find this book particularly interesting.
