IV. Hearing/Seeing Hegemonic Masculinities
Share your video/performance with a partner.  Please use earbuds if you are sharing performances, music, etc.  YOU MUST USE EARBUDS.  Do not play your device out loud. There are too many people in the room for all devices to play at once. 
​(See Carmen's example at the left for a favorite song that her feminist students in the 1990s DRAGGED her for!)

V. Discussions of Hegemonic Masculinities
As a pair, answer these questions:

1. What connections do you see between your artifacts?
2. What are these the associations that we make with masculinities? Why?
3. If people understood the difference between sex and gender, would that change how people view HM?
