What kind of man are u?
-
Barthel (1992) investigated images of men found in television and magazine advertisements in the US. A brief summary of the representations of masculinity found by Barthel is presented below:
a) ‘The Corporate Man’: the successful businessman in a smart suit, presented in a sleek, modern office environment. Associations are with power, control and money.
b) ‘The Country Gentleman’: whose clothes and environment suggest status derived not just from money but from an established family heritage. Such representations conjure up associations with tradition, quality, control and money.
c) ‘The Natural Man’: is represented enjoying the natural environment. Associations are with health and clean living. This man is in touch with both nature and himself.
d) “The Family Man’: is represented as dependable and responsible - the breadwinner concerned for the safety, health and well-being of his wife and family.
e) ‘The New Man’: recognizes the changing positions of the sexes and is not ashamed to express his feelings and invest emotionally in relationships. The New Man is relaxed and is frequently represented with children or babies.
f) ‘The Sexual Man’: here, Barthel found two quite distinct versions. In one, masculinity is associated with sexual prowess, power and control. In the other, the man is represented as a romantic lover, capable of successfully seducing beautiful women with his charm, good looks and sophistication.
If you can only choose three of the above to describe yourself, which three will they be?
