poor man's speed

Do you guys know who gives some good genealogies of gay hyper-masculinities? You know, post-stonewall 'we're real men now' kind of thing. I know there are some obvious sources I'm forgetting, ones in the HQ section of Vassar's library, wah. I'm totally tweaked on a half-cup of strong coffee and I need to get to the gym before it's gone.

i'm not sure about geneology, but you should try that phobic, nervous writeup, "little big men: bodybuilding subculture and gender construction."

I don't know about genealogies but there should be one on heroichomosex.org

oh man, thank you for that! I'd almost started to think I'd imagined it.
