What paper/scholar is considered to have introduced/popularized the notion of the "masculunity contest" in sociology/gender studies?
I've seen the concept in a number of studies (e.g. Jennifer Berdahl's work) and I think it's great, but I haven't been able to trace it back to a clear origin.
Dear Elizabeth,
You will not be able to find out originality of the concept of masculinity in sociology or gender studies as the whole notion of subject matter is largely depend on the definitions of different scholars. You could also read the work of Moser,(1993).
Dear Elisabeth,
