The purpose with this essay is to get a deeper insight into why there is a lack of Male educators in Swedish preschools. I also want to know which role the Male educators have in comparison to the feMale educators. This essay builds on four questions, which covers:The cause of the lack of Males in Swedish preschoolsIf there are any gender bound expectations on Male educators in the Swedish preschoolsWhat the woman educators perceive about the roles of the Male educators in the Swedish preschoolsHow the Male educator experience his own work in a workplace dominated by womenThe method I have used is a qualitative interview study in which I have interviewed four Male educators and two woman educators from three different preschools. The result of this study shows that Male educators gave different reasons to why there is a lack of Male educators in Swedish childcare. According to the Male educators the reason for this situation is that there is a worry to be seen as a feminine person, get singled out as a pedophile and that the childcare sector has low status.

The aim of this study was to see if there existed any differences between Male and feMale superiors. The theoretical framework was based on transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leaderships styles. The sample was employees in three companys (n=24). Three hypothesis were formulated: (1) feMale superiors are more transformational than Male, (2) Male superiors are more transactional than feMale and (3) Male superiors are more laissez-faire than felMale. The method of measurement was a modified version of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire.

With this thesis I wanted to find out how a teacher-team in Stockholm reason about and whether they have specific expectations of Male teachers in the early school years. Interviews with five teachers from pre-school to grade 3 and in after-school have shown that specific expectations of Male teachers is something obvious. Are Male teachers expected to enter into the role of Male role models to contribute with masculinity and a Male perspective? However, the informants are not able to define how a Male role model is or should act. Men and women are often defined as two separate, and often as opposite, groups.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the subject field of Male vegans and masculinities through empirical method interviews and narrative analysis. The starting-point for this essay is animal ethics, feminist ethic vegetarianism and theories that suggest that eating meat is one part of the social construction of masculinities. The problem formulation is such as follows:How do Male vegans construct masculinity? In an attempt to answer such a question there are three problem formulations:What do Male vegans think about the connection between manhood and eating meat?How do Male vegans relate to the norms in society?What do Male vegans think of stereotype conceptions about vegans?I will come to the conclusion that Male vegans think that eating meat, as well as drinking beer, is one part of the social construction of masculinities. Male vegans are aware of norms in the surroundings and the strong attachment of meat normativity in the western culture.

The present study tested the prediction that Male offenders are judged more harsly than feMale offenders for involving in a violent crime. Three-hundred and fifty-four adult students (163 men, 190 women, 1 unspecified gender) evaluated a hypothetical crimescenario describing a violent conflict between two parties, as part of a 2 (Informants Gender: Male/FeMale) x 3 (Offender Gender Triad: Male/FeMale/Neutral) x 3 (Victim Gender Triad: Male/FeMale/Neutral) between-subjects design. In situations involving Male offenders, compared to feMale offenders, the informants judged the Male offenders more harshly which exposed a double standard, as we expected. Informants also believed that it was more likely that a Male offender was a recidivist..

The study is quantitative and is about working men and women?s view of Male and feMale leadership.

Previous research shows that the perception of Male and feMale leadership can be different, and that the reason can be prejudices and beliefs.

An analysis of Zolas Nana focusing on Male desire. Through a study of the narrtive structure and the polemic relation between the concepts of ?Nature? and ?Culture? it is shown that opposing ideologies are imbedded in the text. Nana is a symbolic character, in large, a myth created by Male desire that eventually becomes a manifestation of that desire. At the same time, however, the character Nana evolves from being a mirrored image of Male desire into a more stable and real individual and this process is also an answer to when and why she dies,underlining the fact that she initially was a creation emanating from Male desire and in losing those symbolic functions she loses her function in the novel..

This report is an analysis from a gender perspective of more than three hundred minutes in sports broadcasting on SVT and TV4. The study explains how air time is divided between Male and feMale athletes as well as which sports, Male or feMale, get the most air time.

In this way the study also shows the categories of sports that are given the most airtime.Our view before the study was that from a media perspective, the Swedish sports world was very Male dominated. The results show that Male athletes get more exposure than feMale athletes on both channels, this despite the fact that the membership of the Swedish sports clubs is fairly evenly divided between men and women. .

The thought behind this bachelor essay regarding gender and rhetorical feminist criticism developed years ago out of the fact that I read just a little too many dirty chick lit-pockets as a teen. Those chick lit-pockets were my first introduction to sex, to gender roles, to how men and women react and are supposed to react to each other and, in some sense, even to feminism. Those chick lit-pockets, later turning into hardcore Harlequin-books, became my benchmark when I started to contemplate the fact that this is a man?s world, produced and reproduced by a Male gaze which influences everything from sex, porn, advertising, gender roles, jobs and payment to dirty pockets for teenage girls.The essays aims to show how the Male gaze-phenomenon could be to use for the rhetoric discipline: first combined with other rhetorical theories as a way to analyze and understand gender and objectification. The main question asked; How to put the Male gaze on a rhetorical leash? This bachelor essay consists of a qualitative literature study focusing on four articles and one book in which five different Male gaze-perspective appears.
