Abstract:
This article reviews recent research in masculinity studies, highlighting theoretical approaches and topical examinations of men's masculinity in relation to feminism. It shows a historical shift from masculinity making to categorical interests of men. The first examines journals explicitly aligned with critical feminism, where men are viewed as the cause of women's harm. Journals only broadly aligned with feminism examine men with more variance, considering both privilege and harm. Journals not explicitly aligned with feminism make room for problems that men face, and how masculinity is shifting to be less problematic.
