According to Connells theory there are four different types of masculinity...
Hegemonic - Male supremacy; power & authority, hetrosexuality, aggression, 'laddish' culture, can be macho and sexist.
Subordinate - a masculintiy associated with gay men who are stereotypically viewed as behaving differently to the expectations of the dominant hegemonic male.
Marginalised - Labour market has meant they can no longer assume theres will be jobs for them after school, leaving many with a crisis, sense of loss and disconnectedness.
Complicit - Amasculinity which new men for example, might be said to adopt taking in on a shared role in the family.
