Kimmel constructs a compelling panorama of the changing meaning of manhood in America and of how, in the past one-hundred years at least, it has been defined in large measure in opposition to, or in repudiation of, everything considered "feminine."

Kimmel himself frequently resorts to psychodynamic interpretations in explaining the course of events in the history of American manhood.

Even though both essays argue for gender equality they attack the issue in different ways.

Using a combination of interviews, stories, and sociological historical insight, Michael Kimmels Guyland offers a descriptive theory of the ever changing social construction and performance of typical masculinity in mainstream North American youth culture.

Hegemonic masculinity assumes the subordination of all other forms of masculinity, placing it at the top of the social hierarchy. WebMasculinity as a field of academic inquiry is a late 20th-century development, and its distinction as a subject of critical academic thought is a consequence of the positioning of gender as a social construction by the feminist movement (Connell, 2000, hb```f``Jc`a`x L@qaxK`^\ (*h?_EJWbc,v~(r80010201uTbz:bAr&;7)18\LT30di#!|FY (I A large number of young men, Kimmel argues, currently live within the combined developmental stage and social space of Guyland: a world colored by its party of camaraderie, sex outside marriage, conformity, consumption, and irresponsibility.
