Question: How can we transform the meaning of masculinity in society so it is no longer equated with violence?
Respondent J believes it would be difficult and it's a big idea. J thinks that starting with transforming the way masculinity is interpreted in society would be a essential in decreasing the violence. J believes that violence is embedded in masculinity and by erasing concepts of femininity and masculinity altogether would be a way to decrease men's propensity towards violence. This would produce an even better result because we would have less violence and more equality with the genders. J went on to say that her father was drawn to only manly, violent movies but her guy friends don't watch them. She seems optimistic that the next generation will be less violent.
