“…The concept of gender was constructed to enable women to be considered outside of the relationship to their reproductive body alone, 68 and contemporary feminist methods seek to understand how aspects of gender intersect complexly 69 with other identities/experiences of exclusion or subordination 70 . Feminist historians in Australia have traced how exclusion from commanding economies has been linked with madness, 71 the ways in which social demography furthered control of class and family politics in Australian colonies, 72 and also the invisible power and privilege of whiteness within Australian feminism 73 . Feminist philosophy is strongly linked with activism, where a diverse range of theoretical positions 74 explores whose knowledge has counted 75 through diverse methods that loosely cohere around centring lived experiences 76 —particularly those excluded from dominant societal narratives 12,33 .…”

BackgroundCo‐produced research holds enormous value within the health sciences. Yet, there can be a heavy focus on what research participants think, do and know; while the researcher's responsibility to explore and re/work their own knowledge or praxis tends to escape from view. This is reflected in the limited use of co‐production to explore broad structural distributions of health and risk(s). We argue this missed opportunity has the potential to unfold as what Berlant calls a ‘cruel optimism’, where something desirable becomes an obstacle to flourishing and/or produces harm. We explore challenges to involving lay populations meaningfully in health research amidst a neoliberal cultural landscape that tends to responsibilise people with problems they cannot solve.Methods and FindingsDrawing together principles from hermeneutic and feminist philosophy, we develop a novel methodology for co‐producing research about determinants of health and health risk (using a case study of alcohol consumption as an example) that centres on what researchers do, know and think during research: Women's Thought Collectives.DiscussionKeeping the constructed nature of social systems—because they shape ideas of value, expertise and knowledge—in view during co‐produced research illuminates the potential for cruel optimisms within it. Such reflexive awareness carves out starting points for researchers to engage with how social hierarchies might (tacitly) operate during the co‐production of knowledge. Our work has broad utility for diverse population groups and provides important considerations around the roles and responsibilities for reflexive co‐production of knowledge at all levels of health systems.Patient or Public ContributionThe development of these ideas was sparked by working with lay participants during the Women's Thought Collectives for Kristen Foley's doctoral research 2021–2023, but undertaken without their direct involvement—in accordance with the responsibilities of researchers in the reflexive co‐production of knowledge. Forthcoming publications will address the outcomes and processes of this work.

“…30 Women were increasingly 'purchasing managers' for the household rather than servants of private spaces. 31 Femininity and sexuality were defined by youthfulness and consumerism, as evident in the traditional gender roles advertisers increasingly directed towards women. 32 The fear of Cold War politics after World War II and a backlash against new images of femininity 'fostered a deep suspicion of social change, sexual deviance and female autonomy'.…”

“…This notion of gender practice is anchored in her theorization of "gender order." The notion of "gender order" was first used by Jill Julius Matthews (1984), but it was in the hands of Connell (1987) that the concept was integrated into a relational theory of gender. Put simply, "[t]he structure of gender relations in a given society at a given time may be called its gender order; and the structure of gender relations in a given institution may be called its gender regime" (Connell 2012(Connell : 1677.…”

In this article, I draw upon a qualitative study with 11- to 12-year-old middle-class British Indian boys and their parents to unpack the ways notions of young masculinities are negotiated within the context of children’s leisure. Taking a relational approach, I argue that leisure-based masculinities of children are simultaneously generationed and gendered. By interrogating the intersection of what Raewyn Connell theorizes as “gender order” and what childhood sociologists call the “generational order,” I demonstrate that leisure-based young masculinities are forged within children’s inter- (parent-child) and intra- (child-child) generational relationships around leisure. I conclude with a call for greater engagement with intersectional frameworks in the study of boys’ masculinity that simultaneously recognizes the gender and the generational structures of children’s everyday lives.
