In this article, I explore manifest and latent discourses about masculinity in a predominantly white, middle class boxing gym. In this gym, the owner and coaches promote a discourse that emphasizes love, bridgework, and sparring with care. This discourse is part of the gym’s white-collar boxing culture. A key part of this discourse is distancing themselves from other gyms, claiming they promote a violent masculinity. While on the surface the gym criticizes certain ideals and practices associated with American hegemonic masculinity, it still reproduces discourses, norms, and practices associated with it. Employees use a latent discourse that constructs a hybrid masculinity. I argue that employees and members construct a hybrid masculinity by perpetuating ideals and practices associated with American hegemonic masculinity.

在本文中，我将探讨在一个以白人为主的中产阶级拳击馆中关于男性气质的明显而潜伏的论述。在这个体育馆里，房主和教练会提倡一种强调爱，桥梁和细心陪练的话语。这是体育馆白领拳击文化的一部分。这种话语的一个关键部分是使自己远离其他体育馆，声称它们促进了暴力男子气概。从表面上看，体育馆批评了与美国霸权男子气概有关的某些理想和做法，但仍在复制与之相关的论述，规范和做法。员工使用一种潜在的话语来建构一种混合的男性气概。我认为，员工和成员通过延续与美国霸权男性化有关的理想和做法来构建混合男性化。
