Hegemony and Masculinity

Hegemony refers to the cultural dynamic by which a group claims a leading position in social life. I think masculinity is a demonstration of dominance through biological or social means. The hegemony and masculinity are related because if a group claims a leading position in social life, it is also demonstrating dominance in that society. When men takes a leadership role in the families and at work at the expense of woman, they are demonstrating hegemony. By taking the leadership role in their families and work they are dominating woman which demonstrates masculinity. Woman can also play hegemony and masculinity if they are the ones demonstrating dominance over man.
