Various sites of resistance to the centrality & power of such scripts in Western society are described, including resistance to the heterosexual matrix & profeminist activities by men. Ways that identity & coalition politics can be utilized to overcome dominant conceptualizations of masculinity & forge new masculine identities are outlined. 23 References. K. Hyatt Stewart
