In “Beauty (Re) discovers the Male Body” Bordo discusses how and where one is positioned, as the subject or object, and in the moment of vision. In the section, “Rocks and Leaners”, Bordo presents an argument that the gaze and position of men in advertising give off a message of masculinity.

However, in the 1980’s a new form of male identity was introduced called “New Men”. This new ‘form’ of masculinity included being less aggressive and sexist, as well as being more considerate and emotional.
