“A core part of...'orthodox masculinity' has its bedrock in not doing, saying or being anything that might be seen as feminine... The first rule of being a man is 'no sissy stuff'. Instead, these sexist and misogynistic constructs at the heart of orthodox masculine gender performance are understood as helping shore up the theory of men's 'natural' dominance over effeminate men and women. Men who fail to live up to the standards set...are excluded or marginalised to the extent of their transgression. The fear of the loss of power and male privilege lies in the rejection of masculinity's apparent binary and complementary opposite, femininity.” PowerPrivilegeGenderPatriarchyMasculinityFemininityGender RolesGender NormsEffeminacy Book:Counselling Skills for Working with Gender Diversity and Identity Source: Counselling Skills for Working with Gender Diversity and Identity
