In this commentary on "A Relational-Cultural Framework for Promoting Healthy Masculinities" (Di Bianca & Mahalik, 2022), I suggest that healthy masculinities may benefit from considering other factors than hegemonic masculinity. Borrowing the concept of mosaic masculinities, I argue that many men do not view hegemonic masculinity as an aspirational ideal. They create other ideals for themselves by using elements of hegemonic masculinity that they value and that they can attain. Some men may create mosaics of ideals that they use as north stars to guide who they would like to be and how they would like others to view them. To illustrate this point, I cite and discuss research on African American men's masculinities, and use the concept of intersectionality to discuss why and how this approach to promoting healthy masculinities may be advantageous. I argue that integrating the concept of manhood would also add important texture to the ideals that men have. This alternative perspective also is relationally constructed and it centers a more heterogeneous array of cultural factors that give masculinities meaning and that shape the implications of masculinities for health and well-being.

在这篇关于“促进健康男性气质的关系文化框架”（Di Bianca 和 Mahalik，2022）的评论中，我认为健康男性气质可能受益于考虑除霸权男性气质以外的其他因素。借鉴马赛克男性气质的概念，我认为许多男性并不将霸权男性气质视为理想的榜样。他们通过使用自己重视且能够达到的霸权男性气质的元素，为自己创造其他的理想。一些男性可能会创造出他们用作北极星的理想马赛克，以指导他们希望成为什么样的人以及他们希望他人如何看待他们。为了说明这一点，我引用和讨论了关于非裔美国男性气质的研究，并使用交叉性的概念来讨论为什么以及如何采用这种方法来促进健康男性气质可能是有利的。我认为，将男性气质的概念纳入其中，也将为男性的理想增添重要的内容。这种替代视角也是关系构建的，它以更具异质性的一系列文化因素为中心，这些因素赋予男性气质意义，并塑造男性气质对健康和幸福的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
