Exploring Narratives of Masculinity in Sheffield and Liverpool
The chapter delves into the varying narratives of masculinity and gender in Sheffield and Liverpool, examining the impact of industrial history, labor market opportunities for women, and the effects of de-industrialization on men's lives. It reflects on how the decline of the steel industry has influenced societal roles, economic statuses, and modern expressions of masculinity, linking back to political appeals and societal issues. The discussion extends to the evolution of masculinity in modern British society, touching on topics like fatherhood, care roles, white-collar jobs, and the changing language of masculinity amidst social, political, and economic transformations.
