Intersectional Features in Masculinity and femininity

The identification of intersectional features in masculinity and femininity requires an

understanding of intersectionality. Intersectionality is a set of oppression and discrimination such

as racism, feminism, and sexual oppression. The sexual violence may results from the specific

intersectional features through the ways that masculinity are socially constructed and

institutionally reproduced. The link between masculinity and violence need to be broken besides,

the negative impacts of toxic masculinity on people of all genders needs to be reduced.

Masculinity and femininity are socially constructed through some specific intersectionality

features such as toughness, stoicism, sexism, heterosexism, self-sufficient attitudes and a lack of

emotional sensitivity. The link between masculinity and violence can be broken through training

of the uniformed officers who deals with the report on rape, and incorporating computer based

technology to investigate gender based violence that results from the toxic masculinity among

other ways. In this essay, I will argue that masculinity and femininity are socially constructed

through various intersectional features such as gender, sex, class, race, and ability.

The gender gap in the society has been widen by how masculinity is socially constructed. Voting

in the United State for instance is shaped along masculinity line. Intersectionality is

demonstrated by how men are favored for certain position in the society based on their

aggressiveness and their uncompromising tone given to them though the toxic masculinities.

Katz (p.192) reiterate that Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton is due to the aggressiveness and

uncompromising tone given to the male gender by the toxic masculinity. The misinformed

opinion that female gender lack aggressiveness renders them passive. The ambitions of the

female gender to hold certain prolific positions in the society are therefore negatively affected by

such societal beliefs.

The toxic of masculinity on people all of all genders need to reduced. The link created

between masculinity and gender violence also needs to be broken. The sexual violence against

youths, children, and the adult women can reduced through training of the uniformed officers

who deals with the report on rape (Doe 543). Enough training called Family violence needs to be

given to the concerned officers. The investigation of the rape assaults have been a challenge for

most cases of rape reported in Toronto Canada. The investigation of the gender violence cases
