Families and sports are spaces for “doing” and “undoing” gender. The author presents qualitative interviews with 30 American men who recall their parents’ involvement in the gender atypical sport of baton twirling. The author analyzes the data using “doing” and “undoing” gender as well as “hard” and “soft” essentialism frameworks. Mothers are often supportive of their sons’ twirling, contributing to “undoing” gender and relaxing “soft essentialism.” Fathers do not see baton twirling as a normative pathway to manhood or masculinity, thus reinforcing “hard essentialism.” Fathers often take on an absentee role in their sons’ twirling. In rare cases, fathers “do” gender by reformulating their sons’ twirling into a more recognizable sport. Findings consider how parents navigate gender when sons cross gendered boundaries in sports and the consequences for gender inequality.

性别的新旋转:男性接力棒的父母如何做性别本质主义

家庭和运动是“做”和“消”性别的空间。作者对30名美国男子进行了定性采访,他们回想起父母参与警棍旋转的非典型性别运动。作者使用“做”和“撤消”性别以及“硬”和“软”本质主义框架来分析数据。母亲常常支持儿子的旋转,有助于“消除”性别并放松“柔和的本质主义”。父亲们并不认为警棍旋转是通向成年或男子气概的规范途径,从而加强了“硬性本质主义”。父亲经常在儿子的旋转中扮演缺席的角色。在极少数情况下,父亲通过将儿子的旋转重新排列为一种更加知名的运动来“做”性别。
