| In this section, Kimmel also makes the instability of the Male Archetypes specifically with how the self-made man can be revoked due to a lack of self-control or a severe mistake. Showing that the stability in the archetypes can be seen through the support behind the men; the guild for artisan heroes, the wealth and pre-established status for the genteel patriarch, and the connections from the self-made man. -(sage milton) | In this section, Kimmel also makes the instability of the Male Archetypes specifically with how the self-made man can be revoked due to a lack of self-control or a severe mistake.

| + | In this chapter, Kimmel argues how the transformation of masculinity is due to both urbanization and industrialization. He argues that men during this period experienced a shift from being self-made producers to laborers, dependent on their boss, uppers, and wages. This shift caused a manhood crisis that festered through the sudden loss of autonomy, authority, and identity. Work became a way to convey success and dominance, instead of means for self-mobility.

| + | In this chapter, Kimmel conveys how “work” as a role of masculine identity has been lost or shifted, which prompts new constructions of manhood. This new construction of manhood involves behaviors and fears of a feminized identity. This fear of feminization and homosexuality highlights how manhood, now, must be constantly performed and reinforced. This prompted men to showcase their masculinity through outlets like sports and drinking (depending on class and societal perception). While these new endeavors seem “manly” men in this shift also valued sexual discipline and the restraint of emotions. This shift really highlights how masculinity became both means of expressing manhood through both an internal and societal lens. (Reiley Gibson) | ||
