Robert Connell, the immanent scholar on masculinity studies, has urged scholars toundertake more concrete and located studies of the construction of masculinity.Taking up Connell’s challenge, this paper uses The Mighty Men’s Conference(MMC) started by Angus Buchan in 2004 in Greytown, South Africa, as a case studyin masculinity and argues that Angus Buchan’s Christian MMC is a step towardmasculinism, (destructive male power) not positive masculinity. Using StephenWhitehead’s and Frank Barrett’s three propositions concerning the ways in whichmasculine power is created, namely forceful power, positional power and discursivepower, the paper argues that the latter two forms of power are most evident in theMMC. Given the researched links between discourses of submission and headshipand violence against wo/men, these latter two forms of power which are promotedthrough such discourses in the MMC is declared as unhelpful. Finally the paperconcludes that while men’s movements are certainly important and needed in SouthAfrica, movements that lead men down a garden path to a false sense of what itmeans to be a man, by appealing to outdated and destructive ways of being a man,will do more to aggravate the problem of violence than overcome it. The paperconcludes with three proposals for alternative steps toward positive masculinity,namely a deconstruction and reconstruction of masculinity and a deliberate searchfor, and promotion of positive role models
