testosterone driven society. With the rise in women rights as well as gay rights after the defeat in Vietnam‚ the definition of masculinity was rattled and became revolutionized in a “remasculinization” phase in the 70s and 80s (Messner 461). It was an era when American society revamped what a real man should be.
