Talk:Masculinity/Archive 4

Example by Professor Hickey-Moody
The example about prosthetic limbs for male athletes that I added under https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Masculinity&oldid=1078014175#Hegemonic_masculinity was removed as "odd and WP:UNDUE". However, it merely elaborates on the section before that, which references the same author. It's not far-fetched to associate carbon fiber with "boy toys". It even has its own marketing culture with non-functional elements. Professor Hickey-Moody takes that a step further. You don't have to agree with this view to consider it a valid opinion. Also, take note that without this example, there is nothing to elaborate on the last sentence: "In addition to describing forceful articulations of violent masculine identities, hegemonic masculinity has also been used to describe implicit, indirect, or coercive forms of gendered socialization, enacted through video games, fashion, humor, and so on." Users who want to investigate how hegemonic masculinity is enacted in everyday life will find this section helpful. As I said earlier, even the author is the same. For that reason, I would like to add it back. Starowner (talk) 09:46, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I find it interesting that not long ago you were arguing against the concept of male privilege, but now you wish to present this as representing hegemonic masculinity. Frankly, it's a bad example. Carbon fiber is obviously chosen because of its material properties, and is used in prosthetics in both sexes. The paper you are citing is a WP:PRIMARY source and highly speculative.
