removed this section as it seemed POV and defensive.

The gender role stereotype of the traditional masculine man is often criticized; The idea is that a man is no less a man if he does not possess a certain list of attributes, that masculinity is either a bankrupt concept, or that it is a socially-constructed concept (Ortner & Whitehead 1981) which should be significantly broadened. The theory that hegemonic masculinity has changed over time and the description of a variety of present day masculine forms explicitly supports the idea that there are multiple ways to be masculine or that "masculinities" exist. Prior theories and measures had described a single stereotypical masculine form, often specifying what masculinity was.
