- Title
TONIC MASCULINITY IN THE POST-GENDER ERA.
- Authors
Groth, Miles
- Abstract
The myth of male power has been associated almost exclusively with sexuality understood in the context of the quite-recent notion of gender. Following a period of much-needed interest in the lives of women, there is a resurgence of interest in male experience and masculinity. Tonic masculinity is an emerging new honesty about male experience at this time. The word tonic has two senses that I want to apply to masculinity. One, found in music, refers to the home key of a composition. The other denotes an invigorating substance or influence. I believe that masculinity is re-emerging of necessity to provide both a sense of harmony as well as much needed positive energy to help heal an ailing social body.
