In the strategic masculinity framework, which trait is associated with enacting justice on behalf of others?

• A. Focusing on self-interest
• B. Avoiding conflict
• C. Enacting justice on behalf of others
• D. Seeking personal glory

Answer: (C)

In the strategic masculinity framework, a key pattern is adopting roles that protect the group and uphold fairness. The trait that fits best is stepping in to address injustices for others—acting as a defender who enforces fair play and stands up for teammates or peers. This reflects ethical leadership, prioritizing the well-being of the group and the integrity of sport over personal gain. Focusing on self-interest is about personal benefit, avoiding conflict prioritizes retreat over standing up for what's right, and seeking personal glory centers on self-promotion. So enacting justice on behalf of others aligns with the framework’s emphasis on protecting others and upholding norms.
