Perceived Gender Role Conflict and Violence: Mexican American Gang Members PERCEIVED GENDER ROLE CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE: MEXICAN AMERICAN GANG MEMBERS A dissertation presented to the faculty of ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY OF SANTA BARBARA in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY in CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY By LORRAINE GRAY May 2015 PERCEIVED GENDER ROLE CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE: MEXICAN AMERICAN GANG MEMBERS This dissertation, by Lorraine Gray, has been approved by the committee members signed below who recommend that it be accepted by the faculty of Antioch University Santa Barbara in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY Dissertation Committee: ___________________________ Steven Kadin, Ph.D Chairperson ___________________________ Salvador Trevino, Ph.D Second Faculty ____________________________ James O’Neil, Ph.D External Expert ii Copyright 2015 Lorraine Gray All rights reserved iii Abstract The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine gender role conflicts (the inability to express emotions or feelings) within the lived experiences of former Mexican American gang members. This study involved exploring the relationship between restricted emotionality, machismo, and violence. O’Neil developed the theory of gender role conflict in 1980 to identify areas of stress in masculine behavior, cognitions, affective behavior, and the unconscious. According to O’Neil (1981a), “Gender role conflict is a psychological state in which gender roles (masculine, feminine, or androgynous roles) have negative consequences or impacts on the persons” (p. 203). The extreme result of conflict is the limitation of a person’s ability to ascertain his or her highest and best human potential or to limit another person from reaching his or her inherent capacity. A review of literature revealed no research on the distinctive subculture of Mexican American gang members and gender role conflict. The focus of this study was one of O’Neil’s six patterns of gender role conflict: restricted emotionality. This study involved examining machismo from various perspectives, including exploring the anthropological roots of a patriarchal society as a possible infrastructure to misogyny and strict traditional male ideologies such as hypermasculinity. This study helped elucidate how the dominant culture plays an active role in influencing the identity and behavior of a subcultural group, specifically Mexican American gang members.

I am so grateful for the many people who helped me through this process. The adage that “It takes a village to raise a child” also applies to writing a dissertation. Writing a dissertation is more than conducting research and reading countless articles and books. It is a collaboration of many people helping to orchestrate the entire process. I first want to begin by expressing my deepest gratitude to my Heavenly Father, my Lord Jesus for giving me the strength and the endurance to win this race. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my mother and her dear friends who never stopped praying. I would like to acknowledge with the deepest gratitude the Sisters of Poor Clare, who unceasingly prayed for me. I want to thank Father Larry, Father Bob, and Father John for their constant prayers and encouragement. I want to thank my children Alexander, Angela, and Christine for their unfailing love and for believing and supporting me in this endeavor. I would like to express my gratitude to my dear friend Dr. Ana, who was helpful, inspiring, and always speaking words of encouragement. I would also like to thank my dear friend Mary, who was also writing her dissertation at the time, yet helped me to format the table of contents and set up my document in APA format. No matter what time it was, Mary’s words were always joyous and encouraging. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dear brother Edward, who spent countless hours helping and encouraging me through this entire process. I am most appreciative of you, my dear and beloved brother. I want to thank Ron, my dear friend who constantly v reminded me to take care of myself, breathe, enjoy life, and take a walk in the mountains or a walk on the beach. I am so grateful for your friendship, support, and encouragement and not allowing me to quit. I also want to express my deepest thanks to Steve Kadin, PhD, ABPP for his patience, direction, and support during the dissertation process. I would also like to express my thanks to Salvador Trevino, PhD, who requested I read more articles on Mexican Americans and write about the authentic voice of the Mexican American culture. I would especially like to thank my APA editor Toni Williams for her diligent and thorough commitment to editing my dissertation. I would like to give deep thanks to James M. O’Neil for his expertise on gender role conflict and his great articles written on this subject. I am most appreciative of Dr. O’Neil’s support and expertise. His research became my guiding light in the formulation of this dissertation. I would like to express my deepest thanks to all the young men who participated in this study. All of you have enriched my life, provided a greater sense of awareness of your struggles and aspirations, and opened your hearts to trust me. I appreciate your lived experiences and the responsible and worthy men that you have become. vi Table of Contents List of Tables ...................................................................................................................... x List of Figures .................................................................................................................... xi Chapter 1: Introduction ....................................................................................................... 1 Overview: Purpose of the Study ............................................................................. 1 Background: Gender Role Conflict ........................................................................ 3 Gender Role Conflict History ................................................................................. 3 Rationale ................................................................................................................. 4 Instrumentation ....................................................................................................... 5 Research Questions ................................................................................................. 6 Theoretical Concepts .............................................................................................. 6 Victimization ......................................................................................................... 17 Gender Role Expectations ..................................................................................... 18 Chapter 2: Literature Review ............................................................................................ 21 Attachment Theory ............................................................................................... 21 Early Childhood Socialization .............................................................................. 22 Adolescent Boys and Gender Role Conflict ......................................................... 24 Male Socialization ................................................................................................ 25 Socialization Code ................................................................................................ 27 Society Expectations ............................................................................................. 28 Contemporary Socialization .................................................................................. 28 Disidentification .................................................................................................... 29 Aggression and Violence ...................................................................................... 29 vii Criminal Behavior ................................................................................................. 32 The History of Hispanic Gangs ............................................................................. 32 Disidentification and Gender Role Conflict ......................................................... 36 Masculine Ideology ............................................................................................... 38 Machismo .............................................................................................................. 40 Family Hierarchy .................................................................................................. 42 Mexican American Masculinity ............................................................................ 43 Deviant Conduct ................................................................................................... 45 Violence ................................................................................................................ 47 Misogyny .............................................................................................................. 49 Shame and Guilt ...................................................................................................

  • Militarised Masculinity in the Colombian Armed Conflict: Gender Attitudes and Configurations of Practice
    Militarised masculinity in the Colombian armed conflict: gender attitudes and configurations of practice Signe Svallfors, Stockholm University Department of Sociology and Demography Unit WORK IN PROGRESS, DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE Abstract I explore a number of outcomes relating to the concept of militarised masculinity in Colombia, combing nationally representative data on individual women’s health and behaviour with regional historical data on armed conflict violence from 1998–2016. Militarised masculinity is operationalised both as attitudes towards gender equality and as configurations of practice. Using multiple department fixed effects linear probability models, the preliminary results show that conflict related positively to four different outcomes. The probability of emotional, less physical, as well as sexual intimate partner violence by men against women increased with more conflict violence. As did women’s tolerance towards violence against women. Conflict further related negatively to the probability of women taking part in decisions surrounding their health care, and the probability of women’s violence against their male intimate partners. Experiences of severe intimate partner violence and sexual violence perpetrated by others than the respondent’s partner did not associate to armed conflict. 1 Introduction Militarised masculinity conceptualises a shift in male gender norms, attitudes and behaviours towards the soldier as hegemonic within contexts of armed conflict (Goldstein, 2001; Rones & Fasting, 2017; Wadham, 2017). A growing body of research has analysed sexual violence in war (e.g. Cohen, 2013; Eriksson Baaz & Stern, 2009; M. L. Leiby, 2009; Muvumba Sellström, 2016; Solangon & Patel, 2012). But the gendered dynamics of war in the private sphere are less known and have scarcely been addressed quantitatively.

  • Antifeminism in New Nationalist Discourse 2020 AUTHORS
    Antifeminism in New Nationalist Discourse 2020 AUTHORS Sophio Tskhvariashvili Shota Saghinadze The project was achieved with the support of the Women’s Fund in Georgia Georgian Young Greens 2020 Antifeminism in New Nationalist Discourse Problem description Antifeminism, as a political phenomenon, is reactionary and is often used as a tool for right-wing radicalization. Antifeminism is often associated with anti-queer sentiments since the main goal of feminist and queer activism is to eliminate the patriarchal social order and the social inequality it causes. In the Georgian context, we can identify the political actors who take this reac- tionary position and divide them into three research categories: 1) FAR-RIGHT (GEORGIAN MARCH, LEVAN VASADZE, ETC.) Their position on the above issues is direct and openly negative, which, in many cases, can also be a source of direct violence. These distinctly reactionary groups do not want to maintain a dominant quo status and seek to return to the mythologized "good old days" where a cis-hetero, Christian, ethnically Georgian man held an absolute dominant position. A necessary condition for the self-expression of their power is the subjugation of women and the destruction of "deviants". 2) "PROGRESSIVE" FORCES (GIRCHI, FREEDOM SOCIETY, ANTI-OCCUPATION MOVEMENT) In this case, we are dealing with politically relatively variable groups that fall into the range of those with nominally progressive values: libertarians, liberals, and liberals with nationalistic tendencies. They position themselves as advocates of women and queer rights, although their rhetoric often serves to downplay the importance of feminist and queer movements. The frequent disregard for the positions of queer and feminist activ- ists, and the rejection of systemic problems as a concept, only serves to reinforce the existing misogynistic and queerphobic background.

NARRATING THE MOVEMENT: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS ON THE DIGITAL MOBILIZATION, REMIX, AND HIJACK OF #METOO ROCKY ROQUE 129 Pages The Me Too movement garnered digital disclosures after Alyssa Milano’s initial tweet in October 2017. Over the period of two years, different remixes of #MeToo surfaced which led to the subsequent hijack of the hashtag. Furthermore, Boyle (2019) argued that the movement can be studied as a “moment” or a “discourse.” Scholars have examined Me Too as a moment, or a singular occurrence that emerged due to mainstream popularity. However, this analysis will study the movement as a discourse, to reveal the intricate interactions present with each remixed hashtag. Through Fisher’s narrative paradigm, an in-depth analysis was conducted to examine how Twitter disclosures contain narrative coherence and fidelity.

  • The Two Women's Movements
    The Two Women’s Movements Feminism has been on the march since the 1970s, but so has the conservative backlash. By Kim Phillips-Fein June 1, 2017 Phyllis Schlafly at a rally at the Illinois State Capitol in 1977. (AP) Not even death could stop Phyllis Schlafly. Her final broadside, The Conservative Case for Trump, was released the day after she died at the age of 92 last September. It was a fitting bookend to her first, A Choice Not an Echo, her self-published endorsement of Barry Goldwater for president in 1964. Unlike many other Christian conservatives who backed Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the GOP’s 2016 primaries, Schlafly supported Trump from the outset. Early in the year, she gave an hour-long interview to Breitbart News, making the case that Trump represented the only chance to overturn the “kingmakers” (her word for the Republican establishment). Like Trump, Schlafly’s politics were often focused on a muscular concept of national security. She wanted to see a “fence” protecting the country’s southern border, and she argued that Democrats were recruiting “illegals” in order to bolster their electoral chances. Despite his three marriages, she saw Trump as an “old-fashioned” man whose priorities were hard work and family. After Schlafly died, Trump returned the love. He gave a eulogy at her funeral in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, raising a finger to deliver a promise: “We will never, ever let you down.” Schlafly emerged on the national scene in the early 1970s, when she led the campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment through her Eagle Forum.

  • Understanding Involuntary Celibacy As a Deviant Identity by Keenon
    Personal Anguish or Public Spectacle?: Understanding Involuntary Celibacy as A Deviant Identity by Keenon Bryant Currier A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 7, 2021 Keywords: involuntary celibacy, protest masculinity, discipline, exhibitional approach Copyright 2021 by Keenon Bryant Currier Approved by Dr. Greg Weaver, Chair, Associate Professor of Sociology and Graduate Program Director Dr. Janice Clifford, Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Natalia Ruiz-Junco, Associate Professor of Sociology and Undergraduate Program Director Dr. Ryan Thomson, Assistant Professor of Rural Sociology ABSTRACT Academic research into involuntary celibacy has increased in the past decade, and many studies have succeeded at describing the behaviors which make involuntary celibate people (Incels) infamous online without promoting further application of social theory. This thesis attempts to enrich current understanding of involuntary celibacy as an internet subculture by theorizing as to the function of those behaviors which are considered deviant. Through the application of the exhibitional model of online dramaturgy, tweets produced by Incels were analyzed for evidence supportive of the argument that Incels exhibit both anomic and disciplined protest masculinities. This thesis ends with a discussion of the data produced by the content analysis and recommendations for further research. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract .........................................................................................................................................

  • WOMENSST 394R : Sexual and Reproductive Rights in Latin America. Spring 2016 Professor Cora Fernández Anderson [email protected]
    1 WOMENSST 394R : Sexual and Reproductive Rights in Latin America. Spring 2016 Professor Cora Fernández Anderson [email protected] Class: Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00 to 11:15 Room: Bartlett 109 Office Hours: by appointment Office: Bartlett 7C Since the 1990s Latin America has witnessed increasing societal and political debates over sexual and reproductive rights. Issues such as contraceptives, abortion, same sex marriage, transgender rights, sexual education and assisted reproductive technology have risen to the top of some countries’ agendas after decades of silence, taboos, and restrictive or non-existent legislation. The course aims to provide a survey of sexual and reproductive rights in Latin America assessing the state of the region as a whole, while at the same time highlighting the disparities that exist within it. The course analyzes the multiple factors behind the current policies focusing particularly on the role of women and gay rights movements in advancing more liberal legislation. In addition, we will look at the role of the Catholic Church in these debates and their struggles to prevent any legislative change that goes against their doctrine from happening. Among the cases we will explore are Argentina’s same sex marriage and gender identity legislation, Uruguay’s decriminalization of abortion, Costa Rica’s ban on IVF technologies and Peru’s coercive sterilization program of indigenous populations. 2 Goals: - Learn key concepts in the field of sexual and reproductive rights. - Acquire knowledge of the general status of sexual and reproductive rights in Latin America. - Gain an understanding of the theories that explain the different sexual and reproductive rights policies throughout the region.

The development of this control has been possible through cultural and religious indoctrination on both men and women.

  • Machismo: a Culturally Constructed Concept
    ABSTRACT MACHISMO: A CULTURALLY CONSTRUCTED CONCEPT Machismo has been principally perceived as a negative concept primarily by Latinos. Latinos have constructed this concept as male superiority and dominance over women. This negative perception of machismo can create a power struggle between men and women that can potentially lead relationships and families to experience domestic violence. This study used mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative, to identify machismo perceptions of not only Latino men but men of diverse cultures, based on their life experiences with female partners and family roles. Participants were men, both students and staff who were randomly selected from California State University, Fresno. Participant ages varied from 18-60 years and from different ethnicities: Latinos, African, Asian, Indian and White Americans. This study identified machismo being present in every different culture as men having dominance, power, control, and superiority over women. The research also identified the existence of negative and positive perceptions in younger and older generations. Exploring and identifying perceptions of machismo can potentially improve lives of oppressed individuals who experienced machismo negatively. Implications for social work include understanding perceptions of machismo to potentially help practitioners gain a better understanding of positive perceptions, negative perceptions and disguises of machismo in other cultures.
