Sociology
The ‘new man’ of the 1980s was alleged to be:
sensitive, caring, and emotional
laddish, aggressive, and violent
a strong and dependable breadwinner
openly bisexual and proud of it
sensitive, caring, and emotional
In contemporary Western societies, it may be argued that some of the traditional gender divisions between men and women are becoming blurred. One example of this is the concept of the ‘new man’, discussed by Frank Mort. This was a feminized male identity, defined and promoted by the mass media in the 1980s. The new man was sensitive, emotional, non-aggressive, and concerned with his appearance. Tim Edwards suggests that this was also related to the rise of the male fashion industry at the time. 183
