masculinity & hegemony

In our class we have discussed that men are the strong, family providers and have more of a dependence upon. Females have been given the role of care giver. Men in society are more hegemonic than women, but as we can see the times are changing. Women are becoming more empowered, for example when we look at Disney and the new Black Princess in "The Princess and the Frog." Another more common example is Tomb Raider where Angelina Jolie plays the role of an archaeologist who also has amazing marital arts techniques which moves away from the common misconception that men can only do battle.
