Abstract
This article explores how adverse living conditions of relocation affect practices by which Tuareg men from Mali assert gender identity in Niamey. The argument is based on a two-step analysis. First, the article discusses the changing conditions of household economies and family relations and reflects on how men’s sense of honor has been affected; and, second, it delves into how women negotiate male honor in response to these adverse conditions. By examining these processes, the article places the empirical focus of a study of masculinity on women. It departs from men’s studies that focus on how men seek to control women or in other ways understand masculinity as a reflection of intergenerational dynamics and tensions among men. The analysis draws influence from scholarly works on shame and honor in African and Mediterranean studies, research carried out by social psychologists, and recent men’s studies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
