The findings reveal how hegemonic masculinity enables a dehumanization process of men and how it, in turn, inflicts on the treatment of women and other men. The study further explores the link between self-dehumanization and immoral behavior, applying it to men's dynamic positions within honour culture. Finally, the paper addresses gaps in existing research within the field and suggests future research concerning dehumanization and the concept of male superiority in honour culture. (Less)
