4th blog update

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds next weeks deadline daunting.

Working slowly but surely on thesis as usual. Finding some fun comparisons about the factory industries in the UK versus the US. The idea of hegemonic masculinity is present within the factory working mentalities and higher ups during the late to early 1970s, which is around the same time Heavy Metal was in its infancy. This has an a significant impact on the way Heavy Metal has influenced both men and women within the genre, and the way gender identity has been explored an expressed. I just may need to look into some sources about womens rights and workers conditions in postwar Britain around the same time.


Also alas, I have run out of coffee.
