Hegemony vs. Masculinity

Hegemony is a form of dominance or leadership over a particular social group. Masculinity is certainly a hegemony. For example, males are often taken more seriously than girls within the job market as we see more male executives than females. Males are also seen as being stronger both physically and emotionally which automatically gives them more power and therefore seen as being more dominant. We see hegemony in regards to masculinity particularlly in other cultures such as Iran. It is evident that  masculinity and hegemony are interrelated.
