In this article the author analyses how boys in upper secondary schools do identity work and masculinities mainly through verbally performing acts of both intolerance and tolerance in group discussions. The analytical focus highlights how both tolerance and intolerance are actualized in balancing acts that are based on an awareness of what is perceived to be linked to one or the other, and how identities are constructed through discursive resources and specific performances resulting in the production of masculinities. This performative balancing act is conceptualized as (in)tolerance as a masculine performance.
