Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypermasculinity refers to the exaggeration of traits that are perceived as typical stereotypical male behavior, such as aggression and dominance. It is often seen as a way for men to compensate for perceived weaknesses or inadequacies, and can be harmful in perpetuating negative gender stereotypes and promoting violence. A is incorrect as compensatory masculinity is not a commonly used term in academic discourse. C is unrelated as it refers to the intersection between gender and militarism. D is a broad term referring to the hierarchical organization of gender in society, but does not specifically refer to the intensification of stereotypical male behavior.
