Search for 1 image online that demonstrates aspects of masculinities in everyday life based on what you picked up from the lesson. Include the URL so your colleagues can link to the images; where possible (if you know how), include the image in your post.
In your post, talk about the image you selected and how you either embody or are affected by the form or representation of masculinity in your daily life (i.e., you perform it or someone else does).
Explain how this image of masculinity represents a form of hegemonic masculinity, non-hegemonic masculinity, protest masculinity, or other form of masculinity examined in the readings or lesson notes. Does it conform with or diverge from traditional or ‘conventional’ notions of masculinity?
[**** If you don’t self-identify as a cis-gendered male invested in specific performances of masculinity, what things or people in the world seem ‘manly’? How does masculinity affect you? If you self-identify as a man and perform masculinity in a particular way, what happens when it’s not coded as a hegemonic or normal? What happens when you do conform with and submit to hegemonic scripts? If you don’t identify with gender in a binary way, what happens when you run into expectations about performance and practices that are deemed to be ‘naturally’ masculine?]
Where possible, draw on Connell & Messerschmidt, Hearn, and hooks. Make sure to reference the texts with proper in-text citations.
