Inclusive masculinity and Czechia youth

Abstract

In this, the first investigation of inclusive masculinities among 18- to 19-year-old Czech students, the authors interviewed 19 participants from a rural part of the country. The purpose of this research was to identify attitudes of young, rural, Czech men toward homosexuality and examine for perceived generational difference compared to men who emerged under communism. Results showed evidence of inclusive masculinities for these rural youth based in three principal categories: (1) positive attitudes toward homosexuality; (2) openness to a bromance with a gay male (dependent on gender typicality); and (3) perceived generational differences in gay acceptance compared to their parents’ generation. Overall, results therefore show that young men in this rural part of Czechia are enacting more inclusive forms of masculinity than possible under communist rule.

Men Tackling Isolating Gender Violence to Fight against Sexual Harassment

“…On the other hand, evidence highlights that New Alternative Masculinities (NAM) act against sexual harassment, showing solidarity with victims and being active allies in ending GBV [ 24 , 25 ]. Additionally, men who participate in anti-sexual violence activism show proactive bystander intervention behaviors [ 26 , 27 ]. Despite NAM engaging in proactive bystander intervention in cases of sexual harassment also experiencing dramatic consequences, there are no previous studies on how the consequences of suffering IGV affect their health.…”

“…However, WSH can also affect any worker, especially those who present elements of vulnerability because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age, or disability, amongst others (Chamberlain et al., 2008). In addition, several risk factors increase the chances of suffering WSH, among which are working in contact with the public; with people in distress; with objects of value; in situations that are not (or not correctly) covered or protected by labor law and social protection; during unsocial working hours; alone or in relative isolation; in intimate spaces and private homes; in conflict zones, in leadership positions or highly masculinized sectors, among others (Chvatík et al., 2021; Foley, et al., 2020; International Labor International Labour Organisation, 2016; Tinkler & Jao, 2020).…”

An investigation into masculinity among competitive road cyclists

“…Within this theoretical apparatus, we can explain how declining homophobia, and the social promotion of gay and bisexual men toward equality with straight men (Anderson & McCormack 2016), has greatly impacted men and their performance of masculinity (Chvatik, Hardwicke & Anderson, 2022). This theoretical framework has had much utility in understanding progressive changes in sporting domains as applied to masculinity (See Adams, 2011;Anderson & Kian, 2012;Kian et al, 2015;Cashmore & Cleland, 2012).…”
