PBS, Suzanne del Gizzo, Hemingway and Masculinity "...The Hemingway hero became an icon of 20th century masculinity - tough, laconic, hard-boiled...
Celebrated during its time, we now recognize that Hemingway's version of he-man masculinity is in fact troubled and complicated. Privately, Hemingway grappled with his fascination with gender and sexual fluidity. Publicly, he too, often demonstrated how such postering can easily slip into "toxic masculinity" that at its most innocuous level makes us victims of its blustering bravado and at its worst is destructive to the person espousing it, others, and the environment. In many ways, we now understand that Hemingway himself fell victim to the hyper-masculine persona he helped create -- "he destroyed himself trying to remain true to the image he had created." > _._,_._,_ > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
