Stéréotypes et masculinité au sein des Forces armées canadiennes : étude qualitative du point de vue de l'attrition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
RÉSUMÉ: La présente recherche s'inscrit dans une perspective constructiviste et féministe, et vise à établir un lien entre les phénomènes de stéréotypes et préjugés sur le rôle des genres, la présence d'une masculinité dite hégémonique au sein des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) et l'attrition des femmes militaires en raison de ces phénomènes. Nous présentons comme hypothèse que ces concepts devraient se trouver présents de manière directe ou indirecte à travers l'expérience vécue des femmes militaires ayant quitté les FAC dans les 10 dernières années. Pour valider notre hypothèse, nous avons effectué 12 entrevues qualitatives en profondeur avec des militaires retraitées des FAC dans les dix dernières années, provenant d'horizons variés. Dans un premier temps, nos entrevues ont permis de confirmer la présence de stéréotypes et préjugés défavorables basés sur les idéaux de genres au sein des FAC. Les préjugés les plus proéminents qui sont ressortis sont basés sur l'orientation sexuelle (particulièrement sur l'homosexualité masculine), sur la sexualisation des femmes, ainsi que sur la perception de leur capacité physique. Dans un second temps, nous avons également réussi à déceler une multitude d'indicateurs de masculinité hégémonique parmi l'expérience vécue des participantes, que ce soit du point de vue de la perception inférieure de la féminité, du point de vue du manque d'acceptabilité d'expression de féminité chez les militaires femmes ou du point de vue de leur hyper sexualisation. Finalement, nous avons également été en mesure de confirmer un lien, tant direct qu'indirect, entre la présence des stéréotypes et préjugés de genre au sein des FAC, les indicateurs de masculinité hégémonique et l'attrition des femmes au sein de cette organisation. -- Mot(s) clé(s) en français : Stéréotype, préjugé, discrimination, masculinité hégémonique, idéal type, hypermasculinité, stigmatisation, attrition. -- ABSTRACT: This research is based on a constructivist and feminist perspective and aims to establish a link between the phenomena of stereotypes, gender role stereotypes, and hegemonic masculinity within the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as the attrition of military women caused by those elements. We propose that these concepts (stereotypes and hegemonic masculinity) should be present either directly or indirectly through the lived experience of military women who left the Canadian Armed Forces in the last ten years. We also believe that there is a link between this culture and the attrition of these military women. To validate our hypothesis, we conducted 12 in-depth qualitative interviews with retired military women who quit in the last ten years, all coming from a various backgrounds. First, our findings allowed us to conclude that there was definitely prejudicial and negative gender-based stereotypes built on gender ideals within the CAF. The most important of those stereotypes were based on their sexual orientation (in particular on masculine homosexuality), on the sexualization of women within the military, as well as on their physical capacities. Second, we were also able to identify a multitude of hegemonic masculinity indicators within the lived experience of the military women we interviewed, whether it was on the perception of femininity as inferior, the lack of acceptance of feminine behaviour for military women or their hyper sexualization. Finally, we were also able to identify a link, direct and indirect, between the presence of those gender-based stereotypes, the indicators of hegemonic masculinity and the attrition of women within the CAF. -- Mot(s) clé(s) en anglais : Stereotype, discrimination, hegemonic masculinity, ideal-type, hyper masculinity, stigmatization, attrition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
