“…We also know that, while infrequent, men do obtain employment in gender‐atypical occupations (Bradley, ; Cross & Bagilhole, ; Dill, Price‐Glynn, & Rakovski, ; Lupton, , ; Nickson & Korczynski, ; Pullen & Simpson, ; Roos & Stevens, ; Simpson, , ; C. Williams, , ). The interesting question is how do they do this?…”

Men's limited movement into female occupations has been identified as a key barrier to future declines in occupational sex segregation and achieving greater gender equality. So why are men so reticent to enter jobs normatively regarded as female? Drawing from qualitative interviews with multiple stakeholders in four female‐dominated occupations in Australia, this article documents the processes that influence men's employment in gender‐atypical jobs. Gender essentialism is central to many processes that generate and/or stall changes in men's representation in female‐dominated occupations. While gender essentialism's role in producing and reproducing occupation sex segregation is well known, its role in reducing occupational sex segregation is a critical process which has previously received limited attention. The article details gender essentialism's integrative function.

“…Because gainful employment raises a person's status, some of the strongest such effects flow from rising rates of female employment. Between 1980 and 2010, the share of women between the ages of 25 and 54 in gainful employment rose from 54 per cent to 71 per cent across the OECD; and, in many countries, women are taking a growing share of well-paid occupations, while men who move into occupations previously dominated by women are moving mainly into lower-paid jobs (Roos and Stevens 2017). At the same time, the status effects of these developments have been reinforced by shifts within mainstream discourse toward cultural frameworks that attach a high priority to gender equality, backed up by changes in the practices of governments, firms and social organizations (Dobbin 2009).…”

This paper explores the factors that have recently increased support for candidates and causes of the populist right across the developed democracies, especially among a core group of working‐class men. In the context of debates about whether the key causal factors are economic or cultural, we contend that an effective analysis must rest on understanding how economic and cultural developments interact to generate support for populism. We suggest that one way to do so is to see status anxiety as a proximate factor inducing support for populism, and economic and cultural developments as factors that combine to precipitate such anxiety. Using cross‐national survey data from 20 developed democracies, we assess the viability of this approach. We show that lower levels of subjective social status are associated with support for right populist parties, identify a set of economic and cultural developments likely to have depressed the social status of men without a college education, and show that the relative social status of those men has declined since 1987 in many of the developed democracies. We conclude that status effects provide one pathway through which economic and cultural developments may combine to increase support for the populist right.

“…Erkeklerin kadınsı alanlara başvurmasının en önemli/zorunlu nedenlerinden biri de ekonomik boyuttur (Hayes 1986;Bradley 1993;Gönç 2017a). Yapılan çalışmalar, kadınların egemenliği olan alanlara giren erkeklerin, düşük sosyo-ekonomik statüye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir (Hurd & Allred 1978;Roos & Stevens 2018). Bradley (1993, 16), özellikle de 1980'lerin sonlarında ve 1990'larda, Britanya'da yaşanan ekonomik durgunluk dönemlerinde, işsizliğin, erkekleri, daha önce kadın işi olduğu için küçümsenen işlere girmeyi düşünmeye ittiğini ve teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte feminen alanlara girme oranlarının hızlandığını söyler.…”

Toplumsal cinsiyet örüntüleri, günümüz toplumlarında kadına ve erkeğe özgü alanların yeniden inşa edilmesinde en önemli etkendir. Bu nedenle kadınların, erkeklerin tekelinde yer alan çalışma ve eğitim alanlarında olması, yadırganmaktadır. Buna karşın kadınlara özgü kabul edilen alanlarda yer alan erkeklerin erkekliği de sorgulanmaktadır. Kadın yoğunluklu olan alanlardan biri de çocuk gelişimi bölümüdür. Bu alanda az sayıda da olsa erkek öğrenci bulunmaktadır. Kadın yoğunluklu çocuk gelişimi bölümünde eğitim gören erkek öğrencilerin, eğitim alırken yaşadıkları deneyimleri, duygu ve düşüncelerini kristalize ederek feminen alanlarda erkeklerin kendilerini nasıl konumlandırdığı ve nasıl bir erkeklik inşa ettiklerini tartışmak bu araştırmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi, Çocuk Gelişimi Bölümü erkek öğrencileri ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış, elde edilen veriler betimsel analizle ortaya konmuştur. Söz konusu verilerden hareketle, neo-liberalizm ve muhafazakarlık ethosu ilişkiselliği ile inşa edilen hegemonik erkeklikler, madun erkekler ve olumlu-eşitlikçi erkekler şeklinde farklı ve çoklu erkeklik biçimlerinin varlığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
