The concept emerged in the mid-1980s and was coined by Raewyn Connell, who conceptualized hegemonic masculinity as a pattern of practice that reproduced unequal relations between men and women, masculinity and femininity, and among masculinities. In this talk, I consider some of my recent work on the concept of hegemonic masculinity, with particular attention to the omnipresence of hegemonic masculinities throughout society and how they are hidden in plain sight. Following this, and in line with "authoritarianism" and "troubling times" as the themes of the symposium, I briefly discuss what I label Trump's "presidential dominating masculinity" and how it occasionally is associated with hegemonic masculinity. I then close with a few examples of counter-hegemonic practices, concentrating on non-hegemonic masculinities, in particular, what I label positive masculinities.
