In particular, these are organizers who take an intersectional, social justice approach to this work. In order to recognize who organizers are and the kinds of projects they engage in, I describe four major project themes within men’s work and briefly explore their potentials and pitfalls according to those who are involved in them. I then analyze a number of the various considerations, tensions, and difficulties that arise for these organizers, particularly the personal and interpersonal components. In order to support organizers to be resilient and successful when faced with these issues, I conclude by sharing a variety of ways they may choose to navigate the various complexities they encounter in their organizing and in their communities. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Committee

thank my supervisors Annalee Lepp and Steve Garlick for their insights, support, and patience as I trudged through this project. I could not have done it without them. I would also like to thank the organizers who took time out of their busy lives to meet with me. Not only would this project not exist were it not for their generosity, openness, and insights, but I have benefitted greatly on a personal level from meeting them and hearing about their relationships to organizing. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and the Department of Sociology provided financial support for this project. I couldn’t possibly name all of the people and projects that have influenced me through my time as an organizer and an academic. From the first feminists I met on my college campus, to the staff at Project Respect, to the other coordinators of the UVic Men’s Circle, all of my thinking and work around gender and social justice has been founded on these relationships and what I have learned from them. This project would have been impossible without them. Love and gratitude to my dad Fred, for being unconditionally supportive and for his endless curiosity, to my mom Lilli, the first feminist and a constant support and inspiration, and to her parents Alvin and Gloria for their generosity and inquisitiveness from which I have benefitted so significantly. meg, for being in my corner. Nick has been an invaluable sounding board, editor, and friend. And thanks to my friends and family too many to name, who have been so supportive of this project, especially when I was struggling. 1 Introduction During

Alice A. Jardine Harvard University There is a new bridge in Paris: La Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir. I love this bridge. Almost as if in perfect harmony with its namesake, it joins the National Library with the Bercy Park, once a famous wine depot, still full of vineyards. Beauvoir would no doubt have loved the fact that the bridge joins the reading of books with the imbibing of spirits. Incorporating its etymological groundings in "passer" and "elles," the Simone de Beauvoir footbridge bounces, moves, spi- raling along its various levels of passageways from side to side, up and down, within an undulating rhythm at times a little dizzying.

  • “Understanding Men's Participation in Contemporary Feminist Movements”
    “Understanding men’s participation in contemporary feminist movements” Payal Soobug Department of Sociology Bachelor thesis in Sociology, 15 h.p Spring Semester 2017 Supervisor: Daniel Ritter Abstract Contemporary feminist movements are mixed gendered but men’s participation in them remain low. Many sociological studies have neglected to study men’s role and participation in feminist movements and focused mainly on women’s position. This thesis builds on social movement theories and previous research conducted within this field. This study aims to reveal factors that motivate men’s participation and roles played by them in contemporary feminist movements. Qualitative interviews are used for data collection. The data indicate that men’s role in feminist movements is designated to support the movements. Factors that motivated them to participate in the movements include; rational, network and political motivations. Key words Feminist movement, men’s participation, men’s role, role, motivations, social movement, feminism and political participations.

  • Men's Experience in Pro-Feminist Organizing
    “All Our Work is Political”: Men’s Experience in Pro-Feminist Organizing by Kate C. Bojin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Leadership, Higher, and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto © Copyright by Kate C. Bojin 2012 “All Our Work is Political”: Men’s Experience in Pro-Feminist Organizing Kate C. Bojin Master of Arts Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This research project examines the personal and political experiences of five men engaged in pro-feminist organizing. Their experiences are explored in the context of the emergence of anti- feminist groups, and an increasingly volatile funding environment whereby women’s rights organizations are seeing their financial resources threatened. Using a critical and sociological approach to masculinities, significant challenges at the personal level for these pro-feminist men are examined and are shown to compound engagement with women feminists, and the potential of cross gender partnerships. A people-oriented qualitative approach is employed to capture men’s personal journeys and how they self- identify with the feminist movement. This research adds to the prevalent “Man Question”, contesting men’s engagement in the feminist movement. Ultimately, however, the thesis concludes that men’s engagement in the feminist movement needs to be clearly positioned as a political project with an explicit commitment to building alliances with women’s rights networks. ii Acknowledgements A part of me thinks I should have written the Acknowledgment section upon completing my thesis.

  • Re-Thinking Masculinity: Discourses of Gender and Power in Two Workplaces
    Re-Thinking Masculinity: Discourses of Gender and Power in Two Workplaces. Matthew Shepherd Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography, University of Sheffield. September 1996 Re-Thinking Masculinity: Discourses of Gender and Power in Two Workplaces. Matthew Shepherd Abstract The proliferation of academic studies of men and 'masculinity' in the last twenty years has mirrored the growth of feminist studies of women and gender relations. This thesis reflects upon these theoretical developments and examines the expression of 'masculinity' amongst employees in two contrasting workplaces in Yorkshire. Adopting a Foucauldian approach, it is suggested that 'masculinity' should be analysed as a set of practices which create, maintain and reinforce inequalities between the sexes and that their achievement is situationally contingent. From this perspective, masculinity can only be understood within a framework of power, conceptualised as relational, productive and existent only in its exercise. Critical evaluation of the 'masculinity' literature demonstrates that conventional conceptualisations of 'masculinity' have produced methodological impasses, of which the most problematic is the conflation of 'masculinity' with the study of men. The thesis proposes an alternative framework which recognises that discourses of 'masculinity' relate to the words and actions of women as well as of men and that 'masculin~y' is most profitably understood as a series of discourses - transcending the scale of the individual - which set out the 'rules', expectations and conditions within which everyday gender relations take place. The empirical investigation of these ideas adopts a qualitative approach. In-depth, repeated interviews focusing upon participants' work experiences and home lives were carried out with men and women from the two workplaces - an academic department within a university and a manufacturer of metal products.

  • Roles of Men with Feminism & Feminist Theory
    Roles of Men with Feminism & Feminist Theory By: Brian Klocke NOMAS Can Men do Feminist Theory? There are perhaps as many definitions of feminism and feminist theory as there are people who declare that they are feminists. Ben Agger (1998) states that the major achievement of feminist theory is to make the politics of sex and gender central to understanding oppression. However, feminist theory is not only about understanding but also about action. A goal of the feminist project is to end the oppression of women and attain social equity for them. The politics of patriarchy have suppressed women's voices and dominated social discourse and social action to the benefit of men and detriment of women. Thus it may be problematic for some readers that I, as a white male in this patriarchal society, am struggling to define the male role in feminism, which was born out of the women's movement and revisits the unanswered question, can men do feminist theory? This question can only be answered in differing ways for the meanings of text and answers to social questions are contested symbolic mediations imbedded in social relations of power. Perhaps a more important question than whether or not men can "do" feminist theory is whether men can engage feminism and can they be feminists? Can Men be Feminists? It is crucial for men to be a part of feminist agency. If feminism is to attain its goal of liberating women, men must be a part of the struggle. Indeed, men probably bear more of the responsibility for ending oppression of women since patriarchal men have been the main perpetrators of that very oppression.

  • Why Study Men and Masculinities?
    Why Study Men and Mascu linities? A Theorized Research Review Tal Peretz ABSTRACT: Feminist scholars have long made the important and valid critique that nearly all knowledge production not explicitly labeled feminist has implic- itly studied men. Nonetheless, feminist scholars and activists are increasingly recognizing the importance of explicitly investigating men as gendered beings. This paper argues that gender-aware studies of men and masculinities are in fact necessary for an intersectional analysis of gender relations, and that a better un- derstanding of masculinity is necessary to reduce men’s perpetration of violence and increase support for gender justice. It provides five mutually reliant reasons why studies of men and masculinities are necessary for understanding gender re- lations and beneficial for feminist projects for gender justice: that superordinate categories tend to go unmarked and thereby uncritiqued; that gender is relational; that investigating the social construction of masculinity calls men’s superordinate status into question; that masculinity is one of the primary social forces currently stalling egalitarian social change; and that investigating masculinity highlights contradictions and cleavages where masculinity can be most effectively attacked. KEYWORDS: men and masculinities, gender, superordinates, theory American social science has historically tended to study “down,” investigating sub- ordinated and oppressed groups (e.g. Liebow 1967; Whyte 1943); feminist sociol- ogy especially focuses on the lives and experiences of subordinated groups in the gender hierarchy, women and transgendered people.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Selena Neumark Hermann Degree: Master of Arts Title: The Discursive Style and Reactionary Politics of the Manosphere Examining Committee: Chair: Sun-Ha Hong Assistant Professor Stuart Poyntz Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Frederik Lesage Supervisor Associate Professor Enda Brophy Internal Examiner Associate Professor Date Defended/Approved: June 13, 2019 ii Abstract This study aims to unpack the styles of discourse adopted and implemented by the Manosphere, an online community of self described Men's Rights Activists (MRAs) and “Red Pillers”. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis of Manosphere texts, the research explores how issues of gender and race inform the culture and politics of the community. It identifies common linguistic markers that distinguish the Manosphere from the historical Men's Rights Movement and liken it instead, to the the Alt-Right movement. For example, devices like metaphor, hyperbole and dog whistles operate in the discourse as modes for negotiating meaning making and accelerating the dissemination of extreme right discourse in mainstream political spaces. I argue that this process in part explains why particularly since 2016 and the election of Donald Trump in the United States, political sentiment has become more open to the iterations of misogyny and racism emblematic of the Manosphere.
