R. W. Connell's Masculinities provides a reading of the feminine, the masculine, and their respective texts.
Apparently per Connell, 'there is no such thing as a single concept of masculinity, but, rather, that many different masculinities exist, each associated with different positions of power.'
I find some of it interesting and some repetitively passé. A readable text, overall. If you are looking for a good study on masculinities, consult the essays on Constructing Masculinities. Ed by Maurice Berger, Brian Wallis and Simon Watson.

familar with 'constructing masculinities' but not the other title. will get to it.
I find Constructing Masc. generally ok. Sedgwick has a good piece in there. David Halperin would be a good one to read in conjunction with these texts.
