Masculinity as an act

I thought your topic was such a good choice as it demonstrates something so relevant in todays society, you must be masculine to be a man. The bigger, the stronger, the more 'masculine' you are, the more manly you are. This misconception leads to what reinforces stereotypes that we see in society today. Children grow up seeing a man as being this hyper-masculine figure we see in pop culture. Someone I always think of when i think of masculinity in film is Dwayne the 'Rock" Johnson. He is the epitome of a masculine figure, but he really puts on a masculine act. For someone as big and buff as him, one look and he is assumed to be masculine, but when he fights of flexes or does anything remotely 'manly' he goes from being a man to a hyper-masculinized figure. Did you consider putting in a section regarding masculinity as an act to be perceived as more manly, particularly when looking at masculinity in films where these individuals are actors?
