Without a theory of gender – of what it is and what it does in the world -we cannot explain why sexual imagery, notions of masculinity and femininity, sexual experiences and gendered relations differ in different times and places, and how and why such differences come about. We know that in class societies, elites use racism and other ideologies to divide us and make inequality seem natural. Here we suggest that gendered inequality and sexism - that is, systematic patterns of inequality between women and men in any particular setting - is found everywhere in class societies because it does this job particularly well. Our argument is radical. We argue that systematic gendered inequality is so effective in naturalizing inequality because it is always doubled-sided: one side is love, the other is imbued with gendered violence. Love and kindness are aspects of all our closest human relationships – with our parents, our children, our friends and our lovers, straight or gay. But at the same time. Our close relationships are riven with gendered differences and inequality. So love locks us in, and sexism hurts and angers us. Our theoretical argument starts from the top, from class privilege and the systematic gendered inequality found in all class societies and the inevitable resistance these provoke. Our focus, however, is on neoliberalism as a laboratory for exploring how the rich and powerful combine the use of violence with reconfigurations of ideologies of gender to respond to changes in their material circumstances to protect their economic interests and class dominance.

... These policies and practices are part of the story of cultural imperialism and racism exacerbating the disengagement and disempowerment of Indigenous communities. While complex and differently articulated, the driving force of neoliberalism is economic (Lindisfarne and Neale 2016) and aims to transform human social life into economic terms (Brown in Garlick 2020). The norms of individualism, competition and materialism that drive neoliberal capitalism are aligned with hegemonic (Western/Anglo) masculinity and an increasing of gender inequality (and inequality more broadly). ...

... Por otro, los estudios sobre masculinidades han señalado la relación entre neoliberalismo y masculinidades contemporáneas, en particular la tensión entre estos ideales y las condiciones de precariedad laboral. Esto genera una forma de ser hombre asociada a la precariedad material, en la que la violencia, rivalidad, competencia y potencia se convierten en valores clave (Cornwall et al., 2016;Walker & Roberts, 2018). Así, se plantea la necesidad de analizar cómo, en la intersección entre los nuevos ideales laborales y las condiciones de trabajo precarias, se construyen nuevas identidades laborales y figuras de masculinidad. ...

... The male power is nurtured by the patriarchal family model where the man decides and the rest are obliged to obey, thus normalising practices and behaviours that nurture fear and silence among those who tolerate such behaviours (Cornwall & Lindisfarne, 1994). Indeed, as Hollway et al. (1984) point out, a socially patriarchal system promotes the image of a man who must create fear and even when he feels insecure he must project aggression so as not to lose his power. ...

... Some scholars advocate the reorganisation of the state against the marketisation of society (Bourdieu 1999(Bourdieu , 2003 and argue that there is still vitality in the communist utopia (Derrida 1994). Others directly engage with social movements and anti-globalisation groups, and produce more accessible, programme-oriented writings that aim to provide a basis from which to challenge the neoliberal process from the 'bottom up' (Esteva & Prakash 1998;Klein 2000;Bircham & Charlton 2001;Danaher 2001;George 2004). The neoliberal project has been challenged not only by bottom-up social movements but also by local and transnational elites, albeit in very different ways. ...

... This does not mean, though, that there are not underlining cultural structures that support such evidence. Cultural structures embody presentations about ideas of masculinity, power and subordination of women to an extended spectrum of economy, occupation, family and religion (Cornwall & Lindisfarne, 2005). The most popular idea that attempts to explain such actions is based upon the social norm also referred to as "heteronormativity". ...
