Abstract

Since #MeToo took the Internet by storm in 2017, it has had transnational social and legal ramifications. However, there has been little research on the repercussions of this movement for the ways in which masculinity has been politicized as questions around its meaning and place in gender relations were brought to the forefront of public discussions. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from two Western Anglophone men’s groups, one embracing and one opposing feminist ideas. Our findings demonstrate a qualitative shift in contemporary expressions of “backlash” and “masculinity politics” in the #MeToo era compared to their initial formulations in the wake of the women’s and men’s movements of the 1960s to 1980s, shaped by novel tropes and tactics.
#MeToo还是#MenToo?#MeToo时代的反弹和男性政治的表达
自2017年#MeToo在互联网上掀起风暴以来,它已经产生了跨国社会和法律影响。然而,关于这一运动对男性气概被政治化的影响的研究很少,因为围绕其在两性关系中的意义和地位的问题被带到公众讨论的最前沿。研究人员对来自两个西方英语男性团体的参与者进行了13次半结构化访谈,其中一个团体支持女权主义,另一个反对女权主义。我们的研究结果表明,与20世纪60年代至80年代女性和男性运动之后的最初表述相比,#MeToo时代当代“反弹”和“男性政治”的表达方式发生了质的转变,这些表达方式由新颖的比喻和策略塑造。
