T1 Contradictory male/masculine/men's "I"s: the unwriting of men, and the concept of sex

K1 Feminismo
K1 Masculinidad
AB May I start with two observations? First, men’s relations to feminism are problematic—there isalways a gap, a gap between men and feminism; second, the gendering of men and masculinitiesis now recognised. There are several challenges here. The gender challenge concerns how tomove from the presumed “genderlessness” of men towards the gender-consciousness of beinga man/men. Another challenge concerns the “public/private,” the disruption of dominantnarratives of “I” of men and the masculine “I.” There is also a temporal challenge, of movingaway from simple linearity of the “I.” Together, these challenges can be seen as moving awayfrom taken-for-granted “gender power-coherence” towards gender power-consciousness. Toaddress these kinds of question means interrogating the uneven non-equivalences of whatit means to be male, a man, masculine. This is not easily reduced to sex or gender. Rathergender/sex, or simply gex, helps to speak of such blurrings.
