Gender advocates have bemoaned the diatribe about women inequality at the neglect of males’ vulnerability in abstract narratives. We propose that achievement of female empowerment will be complimented by empirically exploring men’s vulnerability themes wrapped in “masculinity” with cultural differences. This study documented views on male vulnerability in the Ghanaian environment using mixed-method design with 189 respondents conveniently. Chi square goodness-of-fit test, and thick descriptions were applied to the open-ended questionnaire items. Indeed, 74% of the participants agreed that Ghanaian males were vulnerable with 26% expressing contrary views. With nine overarching themes generated, gender was not a significant factor in categorising male vulnerability (Σ2 (8) = 10.836, p > .05). We concluded that both sexes appear to have shared views on Ghanaian males’ vulnerability issues and recommended for gender advocates to expand the equality discourse to cover males’ vulnerability. Implications for adult education and guidance and counselling practices are indicated.

加纳背景下的男性脆弱性概念化:对成人教育和咨询的启示

性别倡导者由于忽视了男性在抽象叙事中的脆弱性,而对有关女性不平等的the讽表示哀叹。我们建议,通过经验探索“男性气概”中带有文化差异的男性脆弱性主题,将对女性赋权的实现起到补充作用。这项研究采用混合方法设计,方便了189名受访者,记录了对加纳环境中男性脆弱性的看法。卡方拟合优度检验和粗略描述应用于开放式问卷项目。确实,有74%的参与者同意加纳的男性易受伤害,其中26%的人表示相反的观点。与所生成的9个全面主题,性别是不是在分类雄性漏洞的显著因子(Σ 2(8)= 10.836,p > .05)。我们得出的结论是,男女似乎都对加纳男性的脆弱性问题有共同的看法,并建议性别倡导者扩大平等讨论范围,以涵盖男性的脆弱性。指出了对成人教育,指导和咨询做法的影响。
