Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

A breakthrough book that is very significant because it reveals how the rhetoric of masculinity harms men and women in our patriarchal society. Gender role stress/conflict is real and its deleterious effects have been demonstrated through years of research. Now Dr. Pompper and her colleagues show just how pervasive gender role stress/conflict is in our culture and media. The authors take on the patriarchy, damaging stereotypes and binary gender roles, and expose the psychological damage they cause. This book will generate future research and theory building because it illuminates how patriarchal masculinity causes so much pain and suffering in our world. It’s a must-read for gender scholars, researchers, and students of media and communications and the psychology of men and women.
