| With the change in masculinity, it can be seen through the domesticity of the middle-class men going from artisans to factory workers or managerial positions. The more adventurous or physical the man was the more masculine he presented. The reading discusses how the increase of managerial work or corporate work had created a new anxiety for the middle-class men.

| | The 20th century saw in increase in masculine domesticity, especially among middle class men who found themselves with more time to spend with their families as they had in previous eras. The idea of masculine domesticity began to be directly linked to manliness, allowing men to see involvement in their children’s lives as an expression of such manhood as well as a method to ensure that their sons would learn to be masculine. In particular, the newfound closeness between fathers and sons was seen as a way to safeguard young boys against “evil ways,” providing them instead with a healthy masculine role model and proper outlets to express things like aggressiveness.
