“…Those best able to account for shifts in durable systems of inequality like these, are the ones that can anticipate change (e.g. Adam, 1998; Bridges, 2014; Bridges and Pascoe, 2014, 2018; Connell, 1987, 1995; Demetriou, 2001; Murray, 2009; Pascoe and Bridges, 2018).…”

“…Much of this scholarship has challenged the interpretation of the data presented as evidence of a declining relationship between masculinity and homophobia or less inequality among different groups of men (e.g. Allan, 2018; Bridges, 2014; Bridges and Pascoe, 2014, 2018; de Boise, 2015; McDowell, 2017; Messerschmidt, 2018; Messerschmidt and Messner, 2018; O’Neill, 2015; Waling, 2019). Allan (2018), for instance, challenges the conceptualization of “homohysteria” and “effemophobia” within the framework.…”

“…Thus, rather than claiming uncritically that homophobia is either in decline or has declined, more scholarship has sought to analyze and evaluate how it has changed (e.g. Baker, 2005; Bridges, 2014; Bridges and Pascoe, 2018; de Boise, 2015; Pascoe, 2007; Pascoe and Bridges, 2018; Ward, 2008, 2015).…”

“…For example, the interpersonal can be a site in which one works to demonstrate that they are not homophobic, which is the focus of much of Anderson and McCormack’s work. However, the interpersonal is also a level of social life at which inequalities are reproduced, and often in somewhat hidden or surprising ways (Bridges and Pascoe, 2014, 2018).…”

Recent research in the social sciences suggests a methodological paradox as scholars work to make sense of the contemporary relationship between masculinity and homophobia. Representative surveys consistently find dramatically decreasing levels of sexual prejudice among all groups, among men and young men in particular. Qualitative scholarship, however, continues to find that enactments of homophobia remain integral components of contemporary masculine identities. In this article, we make sense of this shift and apparent methodological inconsistency. We do not question which measure is best. Instead, we argue for a need to understand the ways that gendered sexual prejudice transforms in ways that allow the relationship between masculinity and homophobia to endure—sometimes even when it appears to be in decline.

“…Durable systems of social inequality have a tendency to transform as the foundations upon which they were reproduced are challenged (e.g., Adam 1998;Pascoe 2014, 2018;Demetriou 2001;Tilly 1999;Walters 2014). Thus, rather than claiming uncritically that homophobia is either in decline or has declined, more scholarship has sought to analyze and evaluate how it has changed (e.g., Baker 2005;de Boise 2015;Pascoe 2007;Bridges and Pascoe 2018;Pascoe and Bridges 2018;Ward 2008Ward , 2015.…”

The metrosexual refers to an identity used to describe emergent behaviors among a group of heterosexual‐identifying men in which they began to engage with fashion, behavior, and consumer practices formerly defined as “feminine” or “gay.” This entry traces the origins of the term and summarizes research on metrosexual men. Research shows that while metrosexuals demonstrate that heterosexual men are afforded more flexibility in their fashion, consumption, and behavior, these shifts have not challenged gender and sexual inequalities. In fact, sociological research shows that the metrosexual reproduces gender and sexual inequalities in new ways.
