“…In a scientific context, this study adds to existing findings on how matters of sexuality and gendered-based violence are entwined in the gendering of forestry professionals and organisations (cf.

“…One way to illustrate the relationship between sexualised forms of male control and their organisational context is the cultural-systematic perspective offered by Kilmartin (2014Kilmartin ( , 2015.

This study adds to the literature on the gendered culture of the forest sector by examining testimonies of sexual harassment in relation to the gendering of forestry-related competence and organisations and the consequences that the sexualisation of social relations in organisations has, mainly for women. The empirical base of the study comprised testimonies within the campaign #slutavverkat published on Instagram to highlight experiences of sexual harassment of women in the Swedish forest sector. Qualitative content analysis of the testimonies suggested that the situations described in the testimonies in #slutavverkat comprise controlling actions that diminish women's power in the forest sector. Sexualised forms of male control and harassment thus work to remind women that they are first and foremost a representation of women, rather than of forestry professions and knowledge. In that sense, sexualised forms of male control and harassment are part of, rather than deviating from, the overall gendering of forestry as a men-dominated sphere. The study adds to organisational understandings and policy developments on discrimination and harassment and suggests that researchers and policy-makers interested in reducing inequality in forestry need to pay more attention to issues of harassment and sexualisation of social relations.

“…However, as with GAM theory, some extrapolations can be made to connect gendered factors within the I 3 model. For instance, instigating factors could include the presence of deviant male peers who encourage violence, such as within a gang initiation, or peers who facilitate sexual assault by conspiring to incapacitate women with alcohol and reinforce one another for gaining sexual access even if it is against the woman's will (Kilmartin, 2014). Other instigating factors, particularly in heterosexual men's IPV, may include provocation from female partners.…”

“…A litany of problems has plagued college campus fraternities in recent years, including sexual misconduct and abuse, bigotry, everyday sexism, and institutionalized racism (McDonough, 2015). Also, reports have indicated ongoing concerns with college-age men alcohol and substance abuse (Courtenay, 2011;Iwamoto et al, 2011), relational violence (Kilmartin, 2014), depression (Pollack, 1998), and overrepresentation of campus judicial offenders (Redden, 2009). The crucial formative years of college-age men present a variety of identity challenges that may contribute to any number of physical and psychological problematic issues.…”

Masculinity is an experience that is angst ridden and stressful for young men in a modern world. The social pressure to perform dominant forms of masculinity along with intersectional issues such as race, sexual identity, and class complicates masculine identity processes. The author employed grounded theory to analyze the discourse of 25 college-age men to ascertain how men enact, negotiate, and manage masculinity. Utilizing the dual perspectives of Precarious Masculinity and Hegemonic Masculinity, the theory of Strategic Masculinity is offered as a communication-centered frame to examine the discourses of men in service of their masculine identity. The theory revealed that men strategically manage masculinity using a variety of strategies in varying contexts. Men engage in precarious discourses, rehabilitation efforts, and the experience of intersectional issues to negotiate personal masculinity. The theory also highlights men's use of gender capital to address challenges to their masculinity. Implications of Strategic Masculinity are discussed and avenues of future development of the model and further research are explored.
