Problem

As discussed in our textbook, pages 79-87, a more recent version of masculinity has emerged in 2014, 2016, and 2018 in the US and UK; IMT studies have shown that young straight men: Reject homophobia Include gay peers in friendship networks More emotionally intimate with friends Physically more tactile with other men See page 81 in the course textbook for the complete list In this discussion, the author delineates the difference between Inclusive Masculinity Theory (IMT) findings and Connell'sl's model of masculinity (see Smiler and Kilmartin reading for this section). According to research using IMT theory, Connell's stratified masculinity has been replaced by" a" clustering of non-verticle arranged masculinity types." Such as jock, runners, band members, preps, goths, emos, and computer geeks. In your post this week, discuss the new understanding of masculinity developed in IMT, with caveats about the limits of IMT theory. Include the extent to which these changes have occurred, from stratified masculinity in Connell's version to the non-vertical, more inclusive arrangement of masculinity in the IMT version.
