The program was based on the concept that there is no such thing as masculinity -- only masculinities. The four main types of relations and practices that construct the key patterns of masculinity in the current Western gender order are: (1)Hegemonic Masculinity -- heterosexual, aggressive and competitive; (2) Complicit -- men who benefit from the patriarchal dividend, the advantage men in general gain from the overall subordination of women; (3) Marginalized Masculinities -- men and boys from oppressed ethnic, religious, or racial groups; and (4) Subordinate -- homosexual and effeminate heterosexual men. The program was predominantly aimed at boys but it allowed all students the opportunity to identify with non-violent ways of being boys and men. The program dealt with nine major issues, beginning with homophobia and Australian society, including women and violence/sexual harassment, and concluding with benefits for men and women in deconstructing hegemonic masculinity.
