“…Hearn (2012) points to the lack of applicability of the concept of hegemonic masculinity in studying men’s violence against known women, and argues that the test of any theory of masculinity would lie in its applicability to study men’s violence against known women, re-asserting that a conception of hegemony of men is more viable than the conception of hegemonic masculinity (Hearn, 2004, 2012). Women’s experience of discrimination in contemporary workplaces stems from the way organizations are structured, work is organized and people managed, in the image of a man (Acker, 1990, 2006; Bonnes, 2017; Crowley, 2013; Good and Cooper, 2016; Jonnergård et al , 2010; Lup et al , 2018; Mastracci and Arreola, 2016; Oksala, 2016; Patterson et al , 2017; Pecis, 2016; Ronen, 2018; Sandberg et al , 2018; Sandlund et al , 2011; Yang and Aldrich, 2014; Todd and Binns, 2013; Trotter, 2017; Van Echtelt et al , 2009; Williams et al , 2012; Williams, 2013), rather than a configuration of practices of hegemonic masculinity. Therefore, women’s experiences of bullying and sexual harassment need to be viewed in the social and organizational context rather than an individual phenomenon or as a practice of hegemonic masculinity (Berlingieri, 2015).…”
