Masculinity & Hegemony

Hegemony and Masculinity definitely go hand in hand. All the more dominant roles in the past have been given to males. The competition for males to be the "better one" starts from a young age some examples include fake fighting and arm wrestling and so on... Also, I believe that hegemony came before masculinity. Hegemony is something that has existed for as long as humanity, whereas masculinity was only a result of femininity.
