“…In addition, participants demonstrated an understanding of the need for professional help with more serious issues of mental health and expressed a desire for a change in culture. These shifts may be indicative of similar generational shifts in masculinity and attitudes to those which have been witnessed in the West (Anderson, 2017).…”

“…In gender and queer studies, certain ‘masculine’ traits such as competitiveness, the sexual objectification of women and emotional detachment are often categorized as ‘hegemonic’ or expressions of a dominant masculinity (Bird, 1996; Creighton et al., 2017; Robertson and Monaghan, 2012; on the origins of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ see Anderson, 2018; Connell, 1983). These are behaviours and attitudes that arguably reinforce gender hierarchies and rely as much on the subordination of women as they do on other forms of marginalized masculinity (Hammarén and Johansson, 2014: 3).…”

Debates about human–machine relationships have intensified following the launch of the world’s first commercially available sex robot ‘Harmony’, a hyperrealistic sex doll with AI-capabilities. With the likely consumer market for these devices among white, male, heterosexual sex-doll owners, their views about sex robot technology and the niche online communities in which they discuss their doll relationships have received little scholarly attention. Through a qualitative analysis of the discursive practices of male users of a major sex doll forum, this study found complex and dynamic homosocial relations characterized men’s online interactions. In their discussion of a sex robot future, men negotiate competing structures of masculinity and sexuality and create a safe, online space for others to express their sexual desires and preferences. Using the concept of the ‘seam’ or join, the results reveal the way male users of sex dolls position themselves subjectively and are positioned by technology and the increasingly porous interface between human and machine.

“…Age plays an important role in changing the attributes of masculinities. Men of different generations share values, and their experiences shape their understanding and practice of masculinities in the same period and social context (Anderson, 2018;B. Chen & Ghaill, 2015).…”

This study analyzes how male childminders in different life stages conduct their work and how they approach masculinities in this profession. We interviewed 16 males from three cities in Taiwan. Data analysis identified different masculinity construction mechanisms for men younger than 50 and those older than 60. These men understand childminding differently: While the younger ones embrace professionalization to create a childminding profession that is different from traditional female work, the older ones refuse to recognize child care as an occupation and strive to blur home/work boundaries to define child care services as a family duty or housework. The research suggests that hegemonic masculinity attributes are being introduced to this female-dominated profession, along with age-related sociocultural norms that provide the context for individuals to reconstruct alternative masculinities.
