Tough Guise: Violence, Media & the Crisis in Masculinity Screening 7:30 start

While the social construction of femininity has been widely examined, the dominant role of masculinity has until recently remained largely invisible. Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward college and high school students to systematically examine the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century. http://www.mediaed.org/videos/MediaGenderAndDiversity/ToughGuise/#summary
