Titel (English)
- +Ecological Masculinities?
Omschrijving (English)
- +I'm eager to delve deeper into the perspectives outlined by the organizers in preparation for the Feminist Festival, particularly regarding the terminology surrounding 'masculinities.' Upon reviewing the glossary and the 'Masculinities for a Greener Future' report, I noticed a recurring pattern where the term 'masculinity' is consistently portrayed in a negative light, despite its broader connotations.
- +
- +'Masculinity' traditionally refers to a spectrum of attributes, behaviors, and roles commonly associated with men within a given society or culture. These traits often encompass qualities like strength, assertiveness, independence, and leadership, which are NOT inherently negative. However, it seems the documents may be implicitly referencing 'toxic masculinity' or simply addressing gender disparities, inadvertently reinforcing negative stereotypes and perpetuating such disparities.
- +
- +It's crucial to recognize that the impacts of climate change on women are not contingent upon masculinity or men, but rather stem from the broader gender disparities ingrained within society and cultural mindsets. By categorizing anything deemed negative as 'masculine,' these documents may inadvertently exacerbate existing disparities rather than addressing their underlying causes.
