“…Food represents gendered signs (e.g., a bachelor's refrigerator stocked with beef and beer (Hollows 2002)), signals (e.g., a single woman's rejection of eating steak on a date (Chaiken and Pliner 1987)), or symbols (e.g., a working man grilling beef on a Labor Day holiday (Julier 2002)) that reflect the male or female identity of the eater of that food.…”

“…Featherstone"s account (Lury 1996: 148) and this begs the question of what happens to this conception of the new middle classes when gender is made a structuring form of differentiation rather than remaining implicit (see Hollows 2002). On one hand, there would appear to be nothing particularly "new" about middle class (and non-middle class)…”

“…These theories frequently show little explicit concern with gender while implicitly gendering the new middle classes as masculine (for example, Featherstone 1991a and, for a critique, Hollows 2002). While Nigella Lawson does not specifically address a female reader, she nonetheless addresses specific conflicts and problems that are experienced by those inhabiting middle class feminine identities.…”

This article examines the significance of cookery writer and television cook Nigella Lawson in relation to debates about postfeminism, arguing that her work negotiates a form of feminine identity between the frequently polarized figures of `the feminist' and `the housewife'. It locates Nigella's work within feminist research into the meanings that women bring to their cooking practices within the sexual division of labour, arguing that her work offers an alternative way of imaging women's relationship to food based on the pleasures of cooking and eating rather than pleasing others. The article draws on Ang to explore how the figure of the domestic goddess constructed by Nigella offers a means of negotiating temporal constraints at the level of fantasy.

“…Men as cooks are typically carefully portrayed as gourmands, whereby masculine cooking is reframed as clean, efficient, and "urbane," and there is an active rejection of female domesticity (Hollows, 2002). The social portrayal of women as cooks and men as chefs continues in the media where the construction of the masculine home cook rejects "regular" cooking as female domestic labor and reframes it as a fun, leisure masculine activity (Hollows, 2003).…”

Men, Food, and Prostate Cancer: Gender Influences on Men’s Diets

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although healthy eating might enhance long-term survival, few men with prostate cancer make diet changes to advance their well-being. Men's typically poor diets and uninterest in self-health may impede nutrition interventions and diet change. Food choice behavior is complex involving many determinants, including gender, which can shape men's health practices, diets, and prostate cancer experiences. Developing men-centered prostate cancer nutrition interventions to engage men (and where appropriate their partners) in promoting healthy diets can afford health benefits. This article presents an overview and synthesis of current knowledge about men's food practices and provides an analysis of diet and diet change behaviors for men with prostate cancer. Masculinity and gender relations theory are discussed in the context of men's food practices, and suggestions for future applications to nutrition and prostate cancer research and diet interventions are made.
