“…This is in contrast with interpretations that some participants experienced a tempering of hegemonic masculinity postaccident. As such, findings reflect the evidence base that there is indeed no single or universal masculine identity (Fernández-Álvarez, 2014).…”

Aims: This study intended to explore how men farmers who became amputees due to farming accidents understand and experience their posttrauma identity. Method: A qualitative design employing interpretative phenomenological analysis explored the experiences of eight men farmers who underwent lower limb amputation due to traumatic farming accidents in the Republic of Ireland. Findings: A constellation of patterns between participants’ identities and traumatic farm accident experiences emerged. All participants experienced robust identities despite adversity; however, some appeared to experience resilient identities whilst others were interpreted as experiencing posttraumatic growth identities. Similarities and differences in the sample are explored, posing clinical and research implications. Conclusions: The experiences of farmers with lower limb amputation(s) due to individual traumatic farming accidents yield a rich interplay of psychological phenomenon previously not explored. This study provides some insights into the psychosocial experience of this underresearched population. Further research is required.

“…Gender intersects with other social locations like race, caste, sexual orientation, social class and thus there is no one kind of masculinity, as Connell 14 suggests four different types—hegemonic, subordinate, marginal and complacent. According to Badinter 15 (as cited in Fernandez-Alvarez 10 ), the male ideal is: “a true man” lacks femininity. He is neither a baby, a woman, nor a homosexual.…”

“…The idea of masculinity is a historical, cultural, social construction of patriarchy and it is a bodily apprenticeship (Bourdieu 16 as cited in Fernandez-Alvarez 10 ). Masculinity as conjured by patriarchy, emerges from the socially constructed superiority of the male body and is supposed to be enacted and reenacted in body-based expressions of power—aggression, rape, violence and adrenaline-pumping sports.…”

Child abuse that involves maltreatment of children by parents and/or trusted adults, including child sexual abuse can be conceptualized with the trauma-informed lens for both the survivor and the perpetrator. The trauma-informed lens is a significant departure from the prevailing DSM view of trauma and rests on the understanding of trauma being pervasive, undetected and disabling. Conventional clinical practices can be damaging to this already vulnerable group of service users. A paradigmatic shift is necessary in clinical services for child abuse survivors. The trauma-informed clinician takes a nuanced clinical perspective of the past that has survived into the present with an appreciation of survival mechanisms and constructs such as dissociation, attachment, relational trauma and development of the self. There is more importance on preventing retraumatizing and causing harm to the client, and avoiding mis-steps in the clinical interview. Resourcing, empowerment and a humane approach to the clinical rendezvous is recommended for the trauma-informed clinician engaged in working with survivors of child abuse. A gendered perspective that appreciates gender as a social construct and patriarchy as the mechanism that traumatized both the male and the female ideal enables clinicians to work with the survivor without othering the perpetrator. The article also addresses important considerations for working with survivors of child abuse, including betrayal trauma and the relational field in therapy.

“…(2005:41)Concerns that a focus on masculinities could reinforce rather than challenge the existing binary by creating space for opportunistic men must be taken seriously and these concerns are the basis for my call for a robust feminist inquiry into the topic. As the existing literature in the field of sociology has revealed, masculinity is a powerful and complex concept but it is also fluid, precarious, rife with contradictions and, perhaps mostly importantly, diverse and contested (Connell, 2005; Faludi, 2000; Fernández Álvarez, 2014; Hebert, 2007, Kimmel, 2012). Revealing and analyzing this underexplored diversity is key to challenging dominant conceptions of the gender binary that leave masculinity as the uninterrogated gender norm or centre against which all other gender identities are situated.…”

Knocking Down Walls in Political Science: In Defense of an Expansionist Feminist Agenda

This article offers one possible answer to the question “What is the future of feminist political science?” by outlining and defending an expansionist agenda that is centred on challenging the male-female binary that has been upheld and replicated in the discipline to date. Such an approach draws heavily on the insights of intersectional analyses, transgender, queer and gender-fluid articulations of identity and requires that the field of political science investigate the varied and complex gendered experiences of “men.” Overall, this article argues that such as expansionist agenda is key to responding to the interrelated challenges presented by the perceived “crisis” of feminism and the ongoing “masculinity” of the discipline of political science.
