‘Show us your frilly, pink underbelly’: Men administrative assistants doing masculinities and femininity
通过对男性行政助理的访谈,研究男性在女性主导职业中如何展现男性气质与女性气质,提出四种类型:霸权男性气质、替代男性气质、批判男性气质和男性女性气质。
Research on men tokens (or numerical minorities) at work has focused on the processes by which men try to claim hegemonic masculine identities for themselves and how workplace interactants support or reject these attempts. In contrast to masculinity studies, token theory has paid less attention to non‐hegemonic masculinities. Using interviews with men administrative assistants, I develop a more comprehensive understanding of men tokens' gender performances and their significance for gender inequality. I present a four‐part typology: hegemonic masculinity, alternative masculinity, critical masculinity and male femininity. The categories are differentiated along two axes: support for hegemonic masculinity and support for hierarchical, binary gender.
