“…1 Within much of the discussion there was a sense of a continuum between 'everyday' forms of sexism and more violent sexual assault (see Kelly 1988), and an understanding of violence against university women as a global phenomenon. Indeed, the victimisation of women students has been studied in many countries additional to the ones mentioned above including Japan, China (Nguyen et al 2013), South Korea (Jennings et al 2011), Haiti, South Africa, Tanzania (Gage 2015), Jordan (Takash et al 2013), Chile (Lehrer et al 2013), Canada (Osborne 1995), Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain (Feltes et al 2012).…”

(Re)theorising laddish masculinities in higher education

In the context of renewed debates and interest in this area, this paper reframes the theoretical agenda around laddish masculinities in UK higher education, and similar masculinities overseas. These can be contextualised within consumerist neoliberal rationalities, the neoconservative backlash against feminism and other social justice movements, and the postfeminist belief that women are winning the 'battle of the sexes'. Contemporary discussions of 'lad culture' have rightly centred sexism and men¹s violence against women: however, we need a more intersectional analysis. In the UK a key intersecting category is social class, and there is evidence that while working class articulations of laddism proceed from being dominated within alienating education systems, middle class and elite versions are a reaction to feeling dominated due to a loss of gender, class and race privilege. These are important differences, and we need to know more about the conditions which shape and produce particular performances of laddism, in interaction with masculinities articulated by other social groups. It is perhaps unhelpful, therefore, to collapse these social positions and identities under the banner of 'lad culture', as has been done in the past. IntroductionIn the past 20 years, critical studies of men and masculinities have burgeoned (Beasley 2012). A broad body of work across the social/biological sciences and humanities, focusing on men's and boys' identities and a variety of social problems such as mental health issues, unemployment, educational underachievement and violence, has been paralleled by the development of a policy literature on how gender issues affect men (Kimmel, Hearn and Connell 2004). Laddism as both an identity performance and social practice has been a key part of this canon, investigated as a phenomenon in itself and positioned as a causal factor in relation to a number of 'men's issues'. Since 2010, the figure of the 'lad' has especially come to dominate discussions around masculinities in UK higher education, and has been associated with concerns about sexual harassment and violence. However, there have been few attempts as yet to (re)theorise and contextualise contemporary laddish masculinities, a space I wish to occupy in this paper.

“…One of the merits of DCTs is that, regardless of whether data on perpetration or victimization is used. DCTs provide information on both perpetration and victimization and therefore can help further understanding of the interrelation of perpetration and victimization (Jennings, Park, Tomsich, Gover, & Akers, 2011).…”

“…Much of the earliest research has tested the applicability of the theory in adolescent delinquency. In the past decade, more and more studies have also tested the theory in other contexts, notably intimate relationships involving dating (Gover, Jennings, Tomsich, Park, & Pennison, 2011;Jennings, Park, Tomsich, Gover, & Akers, 2011;Sellers, 1999) and spousal relations (Blackwell & Piquero, 2005;Kerley, Xu, & Sirisunyaluck, 2008). In Hong Kong, the theory has been tested with adolescent deviance data (N. W. T. Cheung & Cheung, 2008, but no previous study has used self-control to explain spousal violence.…”

This study examines the applicability of Agnew's strain theory and Gottfredson and Hirschi's self-control theory in explaining husband-to-wife psychological aggression and physical assault in a community survey of 871 couples in Hong Kong. Three strains, each belonging to 1 type of Agnew's types of strain, were selected, namely, dissatisfaction with family financial situation, dissatisfaction with relationship with spouse, and physical abuse by parents in childhood. Self-control was measured with a simplified version of 12 items selected from the 24-item Self-control Scale developed by Grasmick, Tittle, Bursik, and Ameklev (1993). The conditioning effect of self-control on the relationship between strain and husband-to-wife violence was also examined. Results show that 2 of the 3 types of strain and self-control significantly affected both types of spousal violence. In addition, self-control has a conditioning effect on the relationship between strain and husband-to-wife violence, reducing the likelihood of strain leading to violence. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
