This research explores how gender shapes contraceptive management through in-depth interviews with 40 men and women of color ages 15 to 24, a life stage when the risk of unintended pregnancy is high in the United States. Although past research focuses on men's contraception-avoidant behaviors, little sociological work has explored ways men engage in contraception outside of condoms, such as contraceptive pills. Research often highlights how women manage these methods alone. Our research identifies how young men of color do help manage these methods through their engagement in contraceptive decision-making and use. Men accomplish this without limiting their partners' ability to prevent pregnancy. This is despite structural barriers such as poverty and gang-related violence that disproportionately affect low-income young men of color and often shape their reproductive goals. However, men's engagement is still circumscribed so that women take on a disproportionate burden of pregnancy prevention, reifying gender boundaries. We identify this as a form of hybrid masculinity, because men's behaviors are seemingly egalitarian but also sustain women's individualized risk of unintended pregnancy. This research points to the complexity of how race, class, and gender intersect to create an engaged but limited place for men in contraceptive management among marginalized youth.

混合男性气质和年轻人在避孕管理中的参与。

这项研究通过与40位年龄在15至24岁之间的成年男性进行深入访谈,探讨了性别对避孕管理的影响。在美国,这种生命阶段的意外怀孕风险很高。尽管过去的研究集中在避免男人避孕的行为上,但很少的社会学研究探索了男人在避孕套之外使用避孕药具的方式,例如避孕药。研究经常强调女性如何单独管理这些方法。我们的研究确定了有色人种如何通过参与避孕决策和使用来帮助管理这些方法。男性可以做到这一点而不会限制伴侣预防怀孕的能力。尽管存在诸如贫困和与帮派有关的暴力等结构性障碍,但这些障碍严重影响着有色人种的低收入年轻人,并且经常影响着他们的生殖目标。但是,男人的参与仍然受到限制,因此妇女承担了过多的预防怀孕负担,从而改变了性别界限。我们认为这是混合男性气质的一种形式,因为男人的行为看似平等,但也维持了妇女意外怀孕的个性化风险。这项研究指出了种族,阶级和性别如何相交以在边缘化青年中为男性提供避孕管理方面一个活跃但有限的场所的复杂性。调整性别界限。我们认为这是混合性男性气质的一种形式,因为男人的行为看似平等,但也承受着妇女意外怀孕的个性化风险。这项研究指出了种族,阶级和性别如何相交以在边缘化青年中为男性提供避孕管理方面一个活跃但有限的场所的复杂性。调整性别界限。我们认为这是混合性男性气质的一种形式,因为男人的行为看似平等,但也承受着妇女意外怀孕的个性化风险。这项研究指出了种族,阶级和性别如何相交以在边缘化青年中为男性提供避孕管理方面一个活跃但有限的场所的复杂性。
