Personally, I do not know the meaning of "Hegemony" before taking think course. However, through the lecture, reading and searching myself, I figured the meaning of hegemony. In shortly, the hegemony describing as leadership and some influence to an entire group. Also describe as power of a society. Masculinity is very familiar with me because not only I am a male but also my parents often talked about when I was young. My old sister always act like boy and my parents worried about to her. She would like to play with boys and learn Taekwondo. My parents had liberal personality; however, they alway worried about my sister's masculinity of her acts. Masculinity could apply all the male superficially, also often would apply to female. For example, people often say about to girls that 'Be a brave girl', 'Be protect yourself'. I think this is sensitive quote that both male(boys) and female(girls) because impose to them the masculinity sometimes not applicable to everyone.
