“…An effective way to do masculinity is making other men unmasculine. This may be done by presenting other men as cowards or feminine, and the use of homosexuality and allegations of being a "faggot" are common (Pascoe 2012;Kimmel 1994). In line with Messerschmidt (2018bMesserschmidt ( , 2019 we argue that the concept of hegemonic masculinity remains fruitful to critical masculinity studies.…”

“…We apply an intersectional narrative analysis, which involves examining how social positions and power dimensions, such as sex/gender, ethnicity/race, social class, age, et cetera, interact with one another (Messerschmidt 1993;Pascoe 2012;Spector-Mersel 2006;Berggren 2014). Spector-Mersel (2006), Carlsson (2013) and Bäcklin, Carlsson and Pettersson (2013) show how what is regarded as masculine at a certain age may appear unmasculine at another.…”

“…These accounts demonstrate Ibrahimović's potential for violence, and at the same time his opponents are often presented as unmasculine (as cowardly and frightened). Presenting other men as being unmanly is a common strategy for making oneself masculine (Pascoe 2012;Messerschmidt 2019). one passage describes how a teammate (Zebina) played aggressively during training sessions, and how on one occasion he subjected Ibrahimović to a particularly brutal tackle.…”

“…These two narratives allow Sjöberg to be portrayed as a better, more straightforward person in relation to the other boys/men, who then appear as cowards (cf. Kimmel 1994;Pascoe 2012;Messerschmidt 2018bMesserschmidt , 2019.…”

This article shows how autobiographies of famous, socially well-established men (re)produce hegemonic masculinity through narratives of offending; how masculine performance is age graded; and that masculinity constructions are accomplished both via what is said and what is not said. The autobiographies of the footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović, the former high jumper Patrik Sjöberg and Sweden’s most famous criminologist, Professor Leif G.W. Persson, are analysed. Common to all three is that they openly describe a variety of crimes they have committed. These three men are highly respected in Sweden and none of them is considered as “a criminal” in general opinion. This article shows that crime can be a resource for doing masculinity even for famous, successful and highly respected men. The crime narratives in these autobiographies tell us something about the culturally accepted representations of masculinity that may not just pass as possible, but even as desirable.

“…These studies reveal that gender is not an inherent characteristic of people, but a socially constructed set of practices, beliefs, assumptions, and ideals that reproduce the subordination of women to men (Martin, 1997), some men to others (Messner, 1997), and transgender people to cisgender people (Schilt and Westbrook, 2009). These studies also show how the social construction and maintenance of gender reproduces sexism (Sumerau, 2012), heterosexism (Pascoe, 2007), monosexism (Sumerau, forthcoming), classism (Ezzell, 2012), racism (Wilkins, 2012), ableism (McEwen andO'Sullivan, 1988), and cissexism (Westbrook and Schilt, 2014). In sum, these studies suggest understanding the reproduction of large-scale systems of inequality requires investigating the social construction and maintenance of gender within and across varied social contexts.…”

In this article, we explore the ways BDSM practitioners negotiate gender. Based on 32 in-depth interviews with BDSM practitioners and thousands of message board posts from the then-largest online BDSM community in the USA, we explore the explanatory frameworks BDSM practitioners use to (1) downplay and (2) emphasize dominant notions of gender to make sense of BDSM practices and experiences. In so doing, we discuss some ways BDSM practices and interpretations may both challenge and reproduce broader societal patterns of gender inequality. In conclusion, we draw out implications for understanding (1) variation in the utilization of gender beliefs and assumptions within BDSM cultures, and (2) the consequences these patterns have for the reproduction of gender inequality.
