Shades of Female Masculinity: Perceptions by Ethnicity

Abstract

This session will present research from a study of masculine women who exude traditionally male characteristics and their racial/ethnic background. Characteristic personality traits such as dominance, assertiveness, and emotional control, in addition to hairstyle and clothing choices, and participation in sports will be discussed. Additionally, a review of gender mis-identity, gender discrimination, racial profiling, male-privilege, and the intersection of race, gender, and sexual orientation will be included in the presentation.
