The Rational Male - Positive Masculinity : Positive Masculinity
Building once more on the core works of The Rational Male(R) by Rollo Tomassi, Positive Masculinity is a supplemental reading in a series designed to give men, not a prescription, but actionable information to build better lives for themselves based on realistic and objective intersexual dynamics between men and women.Rational and pragmatic, the book outlines four key themes: Red Pill Parenting,The Feminine Nature,Social Imperatives ,Positive Masculinity,Free of the pop-psychology pablum about parenting today, Red Pill Parenting is primarily aimed at the fathers (and fathers-to-be) who wanted more in depth information about raising their sons and daughters in a Red Pill aware context. While not an instruction manual, it will give men some insight into how to develop a parenting style based on Red Pill principles as well as what they can expect their kids to encounter from a feminine-primary social order determined to 'educate' them.The Feminine Nature is a collection of essays, revised and curated, that specifically address the most predictable aspects of the female psyche. It outlines and explores both the evolutionary and socialized reasons for women's most common behaviors and their motives, and how men can build this awareness into a more efficient way of interacting with them.Social Imperatives details how the female psyche extrapolates into western (and westernizing) cultural narratives, social dictates and legal and political legislation. This is the Feminine Imperative writ large and this section explores how feminism, women's sexual strategy and primary life goals have molded our society into what we take for granted today. Also detailed is the 'women's empowerment' narrative, and the rise of a blank-slate egalitarian equalism masking as a form of female supremacism that has fundamentally altered western cultures. The last section, Positive Masculinity, is comprised of essays, reformed and expanded upon, that will give men a better idea of how to define masculinity for themselves from a conventional and rational perspective. In an era when popular culture seeks to dismiss, ridicule, shame and obscure masculinity, this section and this book is intended to raise men's awareness of how fluid redefinitions of masculinity have been deliberately used to disempower and feminize men by a feminine-primary social order. This book is the third in of series complements to The Rational Male(R), the 20-year core writing of author/blogger Rollo Tomassi from therationalmale.com. Rollo Tomassi is one of the most prominent voices in the globally growing, male-focused online consortium known as the "Manosphere" as well as the 'Godfather' of intersexual Red Pill awareness.

Female Masculinity
In this quintessential work of queer theory, Jack Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two centuries.Demonstrating how female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders, Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances. Through detailed textual readings as well as empirical research, Halberstam uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities while arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that would incorporate rather than pathologize them.He rereads Anne Lister's diaries and Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness as foundational assertions of female masculine identity; considers the enigma of the stone butch and the politics surrounding butch/femme roles within lesbian communities; and explores issues of transsexuality among “transgender dykes”—lesbians who pass as men—and female-to-male transsexuals who may find the label of “lesbian” a temporary refuge.Halberstam also tackles such topics as women and boxing, butches in Hollywood and independent cinema, and the phenomenon of male impersonators. Featuring a new preface by the author, this twentieth anniversary edition of Female Masculinity remains as insightful, timely, and necessary as ever.

How is intersectional masculinity research related to hegemonic masculinity?
Intersectional masculinity research is related to hegemonic masculinity in that it seeks to understand how different social identities, such as race, class, and sexuality, intersect with masculinity to shape men's experiences and expressions of gender. While hegemonic masculinity focuses on the dominant and idealized form of masculinity within a given society, intersectional masculinity research recognizes that men's experiences of masculinity are shaped by a variety of intersecting factors. By examining how different forms of masculinity intersect with other social identities, intersectional masculinity research challenges the notion of a singular, monolithic form of masculinity and highlights the diversity and complexity of men's experiences.

Masculinity in Transition
Locating the roots of toxic masculinity and finding its displacement in unruly culture Masculinity in Transition analyzes shifting relationships to masculinity in canonical works of twentieth-century literature and film, as well as in twenty-first-century media, performance, and transgender poetics.Focusing on “toxic masculinity,” which has assumed new valence since 2016, K.Allison Hammer traces its roots to a complex set of ideologies embedded in the histories of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and political fraternity, and finds that while toxic strains of masculinity are mainly associated with straight, white men, trans and queer masculinities can be implicated in these systems of power. Hammer argues, however, that these malignant forms of masculinity are not fixed and can be displaced by “unruly alliances”—texts and relationships that reject the nationalisms and gender politics of white male hegemony and perform an urgently needed reimagining of what it means to be masculine.Locating these unruly alliances in the writings, performances, and films of butch lesbians, gay men, cisgender femmes, and trans and nonbinary individuals, Masculinity in Transition works through an archive of works of performance art, trans poetics, Western films and streaming media, global creative responses to HIV/AIDS, and working-class and “white trash” fictions about labor and unionization. Masculinity in Transition moves the study of masculinity away from an overriding preoccupation with cisnormativity, whiteness, and heteronormativity, and toward a wider and more generative range of embodiments, identifications, and ideologies.Hammer’s bold rethinking of masculinity and its potentially toxic effects lays bare the underlying fragility of normative masculinity.

Is traditional masculinity harmful?
Traditional masculinity can be harmful as it often promotes rigid gender roles that can limit men's emotional expression and lead to toxic behaviors such as aggression and dominance. This can have negative impacts on men's mental health and relationships. Encouraging men to conform to traditional masculine norms can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to gender inequality. However, it is important to recognize that masculinity itself is not inherently harmful, but rather the societal expectations and pressures associated with traditional masculinity can be damaging.

Do women like masculinity?

Is masculinity suppressed nowadays?
Masculinity is not necessarily suppressed nowadays, but rather it is being redefined and reevaluated. Traditional notions of masculinity, such as stoicism and dominance, are being challenged and replaced with more inclusive and diverse understandings of what it means to be a man. This shift is allowing men to express a wider range of emotions, interests, and behaviors without fear of being seen as less masculine. While there are still societal pressures and expectations placed on men, there is also a growing movement towards embracing a more fluid and authentic expression of masculinity.
