Thanks to you all for an enjoyable session on "Men" - I thought that your blogs and views provided an excellent start for our work together. It was significant to recognise the dominance of the stereotyped "masculinity" - fitness, body shape, grooming, & "attractiveness" etc. - very much a product of the advertising world & the focus on the urban scene of America. So easy to accept that thes images are the norm - or relevant to all Americans. Is that so?
A rather demoralising view of the masculine world!
What about some of those other aspects of maleness in America......? And, how does Europe , China or any other culture view or celebrate the role of the male? It could be that the American model is the one that will prevail, and if so, why?
Best wishes, John.
