Masculinity Studies is an academic field that examines the social, cultural, and historical constructions of masculinity. It explores how ideas about what it means to be masculine vary across different societies and time periods, and how these ideas influence individual behavior and societal norms. The field also investigates the impact of masculinity on issues such as gender inequality, violence, and mental health. Scholars in Masculinity Studies often analyze the roles of men, masculine identity, and gender relations to understand how traditional notions of masculinity can be both beneficial and harmful in contemporary society.
