“…For this reason, little is understood about the physiological sexual arousal patterns outside of Westernized societies. For instance, globally and through history, there have been men and women who do not adopt stereotypical male or female identities (Mirandé, 2015;Nanda, 1986;Young, 2000). The degree to which their identities reflect unique sexual arousal patterns is largely unknown.…”

Pupil Dilation to Explicit and Non-Explicit Sexual Stimuli

et al. 2016

Pupil dilation to explicit sexual stimuli (footage of naked and aroused men or women) can elicit sex and sexual orientation differences in sexual response. If similar patterns were replicated with non-explicit sexual stimuli (footage of dressed men and women), then pupil dilation could be indicative of automatic sexual response in fully noninvasive designs. We examined this in 325 men and women with varied sexual orientations to determine whether dilation patterns to non-explicit sexual stimuli resembled those to explicit sexual stimuli depicting the same sex or other sex. Sexual orientation differences in pupil dilation to non-explicit sexual stimuli mirrored those to explicit sexual stimuli. However, the relationship of dilation to non-explicit sexual stimuli with dilation to corresponding explicit sexual stimuli was modest, and effect magnitudes were smaller with non-explicit sexual stimuli than explicit sexual stimuli. The prediction that sexual orientation differences in pupil dilation are larger in men than in women was confirmed with explicit sexual stimuli but not with non-explicit sexual stimuli.

“…For example, the stereotypes of hypermasculinity among Black men (Neal 2013) frequently have them seen as tops (McCune 2014;Ward 2008), and Asian men are relegated to the role of bottom due to their perceived femininity (C. W. han 2015; Nguyen 2014). Studies on Latino men and sexual positioning also reveal deeply entrenched beliefs in the masculinity of Latino men in the maintenance of machismo 1 ; furthermore, these beliefs are coded in the Spanish language equivalents for top, activo, and bottom, pasivo (Asencio 2011;Mirandé 2016;Ocampo 2012). Research on the role of top and bottom identities has consistently traced stereotypes of masculinity and notions of power within gay communities as a prominent force in the social organization of relationship (Dangerfield et al 2017;hennen 2008).…”

The Discursive Work of “Bottom-Shaming”: Sexual Positioning Discourse in the Construction of Black Masculinity

This article uses ethnographic data and interviews with young Black gay cisgender men to illustrate how masculinity is interactionally created and policed within gay communities. Here, I specifically highlight the ways Black masculinity is constructed against Latino and white men’s masculinity, discursively situating this masculinity within a racial hierarchy celebrating hypermasculinity among Black men. Black masculinity is further policed within Black gay communities through what I term sexual positioning discourse. Through the use of sexual positions within gay relationships (e.g., “top,” “bottom,” “versatile”), peers shame the act of bottoming to interactionally shore up their own masculinity through a ritualistic emasculation of other men, which simultaneously denigrates the social position of women and femininity. Building on prior empirical and theoretical work examining the use of homophobic discourse among straight men as playing a critical role in their constructions of masculinity, I show similarities and differences through an examination of gender and sexual discourse mobilized within gay communities and by Black gay cis men. Sexual positioning discourse is integral to masculinity boundary work among gay men, yet when employed by heterosexual men, this discourse calls their sexuality into question. Specifically, when Black gay men mobilize sexual positioning discourse, it serves to assert their claims to Black masculinity relative to one another; whereas when straight men use the same discourse it serves to cast doubt on their claims to “straight” sexual identities.

“…This violent history includes the European colonization of Native peoples (Beck & LaPier, 2022), enslavement of Black people and commodification of their reproduction (Morrison, 2019), and discreditation and theft of reproductive care from midwives—who were primarily Black and other people of color— by the White, male-dominated medical field (Goodwin, 2020); people who have abortions have been increasingly stigmatized under White supremacist views of “the ideals of womanhood” (Kumar et al, 2009, p. 1010). Indeed, the binary construct of woman- and manhood itself is a product of colonization (e.g., Mirandé, 2016; Walters et al, 2006, as cited in Kroehle et al, 2020). Kumar et al (2009) originally conceptualized the ideals of womanhood as having innate nurturing instincts, using one's sexuality only to reproduce, and desiring to inevitably become a mother (2009), yet it is essential that we place this conceptualization within the context of dominant, White supremacist cultural values (Okun, 2022).…”

Abortion Decisions as Humanizing Acts: The Application of Ambivalent Sexism and Objectification to Women-Centered Anti-Abortion Rhetoric

Women-centered anti-abortion rhetoric, grounded in ostensibly positive beliefs that pregnant people are precious objects who must be protected from having abortions, has proliferated anti-abortion activism and legislation. However, abortion stigma, marked by negative perceptions of people who terminate pregnancies, is the most widely used theoretical tool for understanding the social and psychological implications of abortion. In this article, we first integrate these two seemingly contradictory perspectives on abortion through the lens of ambivalent sexism theory. We then argue that ambivalent sexism paves the way for objectifying perceptions and treatment of pregnant people; specifically, our typology of reproductive objectification provides a tool for exploring how the abortion decision-making of pregnant people is undermined. Through this lens, abortion decisions can represent a subversion of these portrayals and treatment by affirming people who seek and have abortions as whole human beings. Throughout, we aim to counter White supremacy and cisheteropatriarchy, which have marked public discourse and psychological research on abortion. Finally, using this reproductive objectification framework, recommendations for clinicians and researchers are provided.
