Pintrijel Mihai, I must tell you - as a life-long male - that I at the age of 50 still do not know what masculinity actually is. I know Diana Ross likes Muscles, but that is it. If I cry, am I feminine? The conclusion is that masculiny is a term everyone fills with their own prejudices. "Toxic masculity" is, however, a reference to quite specific type of character, whether one accepts the etymological roots of the term or not. We know what the term refers to.

If you are still researching this topic I suggest reading Mercer's 'Welcome to the Jungle' which considers the effects of the gaze on the male body, how the athletic body receives admiration and contributes to its fetishisation for hetero- and homosexuals.

Cultivation Theory, Social Construction of Reality, Media Cognitive Theory, UG can be used with Marxist, Hegemony and Post-Structuralism approaches, of course, along with Hall's Reception Theory.

Not exactly on the topic of the question, but if interested some literature on gender relations are available in my book.

Hello, You can write to Mark Parent for a copy of the instrument. I believe he is on Reserachgate. All the best

Hi Camille,

A professor in my home department, Chrysanthi Leon, wrote a book on this topic. It's entitled Sex Fiends, Perverts and Pedophiles: Understanding Sex Crime in

America. It examines the social control of pedophiles, including its medicalization, from a sociological (in particular, social constructionist) perspective. It should be very relevant to your research. Good luck!

Can't help you there with a specific reference but I think it would make a great study. I have used visual methodology, with a colleague, to explore our teaching of outdoor education  which in New Zealand is a PE context. We look at the way we have used experiential learning in our teacher education for outdoor education.

If you haven't already read it - there is a seminal paper by WH Courtenay in Social Science & Medicine that theorises about the link between performances of masculinity and health. There is also a chapter in Handbook of Studies on Men and Masculinities by Don Sabo that gives an excellent introduction to this topic.

From the viewpoint of housework couples share cooking to a greater extend than e.g. ironing. You should consider the expected work schedules for professional cooking: evenings and weekends. That's sometimes quite difficult to handle for mothers, so they probably drop out of their cooking profession more often than men or fathers do.
