Masculinity/ Hegemony

Masculinity and hegemony to me are very hard to distinguish a relationship. Masculinity is often taken as being the "alpha male" when taken out of context. Masculinity to me is the fact of being MASculine as in physically in shape, polite or a well rounded male. In that case I relate the two by if you are male and accept the role of society and aren't fighting for the simple dominance. You are a mature male to accept what society as a whole as agreed upon which relates to hegemony by agreeing to live in a society that has been built around a central dominance.
