Definition(s)

  • The concept of masculinity is complex, having various definitions, historical roots, and logical approaches. Robert Connell, one of the key theorists of Western masculinities, argued that commonsense definitions of the term tend to fall into one of four approaches: essentialist, positivist, normative, or semiotic.
