                1. Easthope= media transmits the view that masculinity based on strength/aggression/competition/violence is biologically determined and thus a natural goal.
                  1. 1980's- glossy magazines for men, GQ, Maxim, FHM, suggest men are emotionally vulnerable, should be more in touch with feminine side, treat women as equals, care more about appearance, active fatherhood worthwhile.
