In recent years, extensive empirical data has indicated that acts of severe sexual assault are being perpetrated against large numbers of men in many areas of conflict around the world. In spite of such data, recognition of this problem within gender studies remains limited. This is due to many reasons including the opposition of a variety of feminism that is reluctant to acknowledge male victimhood. This paper argues that feminist reservations about a focus on male-directed sexual violence in conflict are unfounded, especially as adherence to dichotomous gender models of “male equals perpetrator/female equals victim” ignores the comparable suffering of male survivors. A feminist analysis is enriched and complemented by a focus on male survivors and on the gendered power relations that operate among men.

Desde finales de la decada de 1930, Espana fue sometida a una ferrea distincion de sexos. La Dictadura franquista creo dos moldes: uno para el hombre y otro para la mujer. La educacion se convirtio en el alfarero que, a traves de sus ensenanzas, fue dando forma a aquellos modelos de genero. La conversion del escolar en hombre o mujer en funcion de su sexo y la asuncion de los roles, estereotipos y significados que suponia esa apropiacion era el objetivo de la educacion en aquellos anos. Son muchos los estudios que profundizan sobre como las ninas de la posguerra fueron convertidas en mujeres abnegadas gracias a las influencias educativas que recibieron, pero apenas existen investigaciones que traten de problematizar sobre el papel que jugo la escuela en la reproduccion del modelo de masculinidad promovido por el Regimen. El trabajo que presentamos parte de la revision de la literatura existente sobre masculinidad en el franquismo para adentrarse en el conocimiento de la educacion masculina de aquellos anos. Los recuerdos de infancia de dos ninos de la posguerra y las memorias de sus vivencias nos permitiran identificar y valorar el modelo de masculinidad en el que fueron educados.

This article analyzes the male caregiving characters Driss in Intouchables (2011), Craig in Still Mine (2012) and David in Nebraska (2013) in terms of hegemonic masculinity and its variations (Connell 1990; Connell and Messerschmidt 2005). Caregiving is a complex social situation normally assumed within kinship relationships, and traditionally attributed to women. We briefly review feminist analysis of caregiving since the 1970s (Fine and Glendinning 2005), and use critical studies on men and masculinities to show that the uptaking of caring tasks by men would and is contributing to equality between women and men (Elliott 2015). We have looked at the portrayal of the male caregivers in these films, and if and how they challenge hegemonic masculinity in terms of positive experiences. Our findings show that despite the tension men experience between giving in to and challenging patriarchal privilege of a care-free life, strategies such as humour , complicity , outdoor action and a general concern for the dignity of the care-receiver can be identified as some of these features of (imagined) caring masculinities and open new spaces for defining care as a gender neutral activity.
本文分析了《不可触碰》(2011)中的男性看护角色Driss，《Still Mine》(2012)中的Craig和《Nebraska》(2013)中的David的霸权男性气质及其变化(Connell 1990;Connell and Messerschmidt, 2005)。看护是一种复杂的社会状况，通常是在亲属关系中承担的，传统上被认为是女性的责任。我们简要回顾了自20世纪70年代以来对照顾的女权主义分析(Fine and Glendinning 2005)，并使用对男性和男性气质的批判性研究来表明，男性承担照顾任务将会并且正在促进男女平等(Elliott 2015)。我们研究了这些电影中男性看护人的形象，以及他们是否以及如何以积极的经历挑战男性霸权。我们的研究结果表明，尽管男性在放弃和挑战无忧无虑的父权生活之间经历了紧张，但幽默、共谋、户外活动和对照顾者尊严的普遍关注等策略可以被认为是(想象中的)关怀男性的一些特征，并为将关怀定义为性别中立的活动开辟了新的空间。

The present work deals with the cyberactivist masculinist groups in Argentina, analyzed from the cross between gender studies and the Internet. The objective is to identify, visualize and deconstruct the arguments that support the online practices of two hetero-hegemonic groups with presence on the local network: 'United Men' and 'Machos Alfa'. On this aim, a qualitative methodology was used based on the non- participant observation of the virtual public spaces, as well as the discursive analysis of its posts in social network sites. As a result, on the basis of their arguments, we identify the recurrence of three elements linked to feminist discussion topics: gender dysphoria, parental alienation syndrome and the defense of the nuclear family model. We argue that the actions of these groups are oriented both to delegitimizing feminist claims and reacting to the advance of sexual and gender rights. We reflect on the reprivatization of these rights and the reproduction of the dominant capitalist hetero-patriarchal system.

The analysis of masculinity has been a topic of growing interest in recent decades. Its study has incorporated a wide and diverse range of research areas and themes, including the representation of gender relations and identities on the Internet. Specifically, this article concerns the research area related to online dating websites and aims to compare the principal current tendencies related to identity -as provided by research on masculinity- with the way that men present themselves on two Spanish dating websites: Meetic.es and AdoptaUnTio.es. These types of virtual spaces have specific characteristics that facilitate the analysis of the masculine ideal among their users; or at least the characteristics that these men consider attractive to women. This research was carried out through a qualitative analysis supported by Atlas-ti. The principal results highlight the presence of traces of the so called egalitarian masculinity within predominant forms of traditional masculinity, characterized by a minimal process of reflection and introspection on the part of users of these websites.

Patriarchal dominance in our Western society has oppressed not only women but it has also isolated many men who did not comply with hegemonic masculinity patterns. The aim of this study is to know and analyse the experiences of a group of boys who practise rhythmic gymnastics, traditionally linked to the feminine reality. Within this interpretative paradigm, eight interviews has been done to gymnasts (8-19 years old), who practise rhythmic gymnastics in a competitive or amateur level. The boys express the familiar support that they have had when deciding to practise a traditionally feminine sport. However, many gymnasts have been insulted or mocked by other boys. Therefore, it is important to work with families in order to eliminate stereotypes and prejudices in this masculine discipline in the future. Similarly, rhythmic gymnastics must be promoted among boys, since a higher presence of boys in clubs would ease their reception among girls.
