This paper aims to explore a methodology used to understand masculinities in the field of men’s studies. In the context of men’s studies, Connell’s idea of “hegemonic masculinity” is used predominantly throughout the field as a category of masculinity. Hegemonic masculinity is a category of masculinity which refers to male domination over women. A specific masculinity in Japanese post war society , the “salary-man”, is discussed and interpreted as hegemonic masculinity by the author. This paper reviews the notion of hegemonic masculinity, and examines the operationalization of hegemonic masculinity and its relation to the “salary-man.” Moreover, effectiveness and limitations related to combining the concepts of hegemonic masculinity and the “salary-man” are examined. To overcome the conceptual limitations of hegemonic masculinity conclusively, the author suggests employing Messerschmidt’s idea of “dominant masculinity”. The idea of dominant masculinity focuses on the fluid social process in which men express masculinities and construct male domination, especially in micro social interaction. Combining dominant masculinity and hegemonic masculinity, could be effective in understanding how some types of masculinity relate to hegemony in society. Additionally, as an alternative to the approach of hegemonic masculinity, which intends to understand masculinities from the perspective of hegemony and power, the author emphasizes the importance of recognizing the classification of masculine traits which encompass weakness, powerlessness and vulnerability in the current definition of “masculinity” across the field of men’s studies.
