My new article with James Messerschmidt just came out in @femininities.bsky.social building on Raewyn Connell's theorization of "emphasized femininity." I'm including a link here and quoting the @socarxiv.bsky.social's bot sharing our preprint online as well. brill.com/view/journal...

Harkin (2024) explores the evolution of the Pink PC—from Apple’s iconic G3 to today’s custom-built pastel gaming rigs. Once at the forefront of programming, women’s role in tech has been erased, but hyperfeminine PC builds challenge dominant narratives of technology as inherently masculine.

Mind the (Feminine) Gap:
Documenting Femmephobic Knowledge Production and the Masculinization
of Expertise

Abstract
The field of femininities has arguably existed for over six decades, but it was not
until 2024 that a journal emerged as a home for scholarship in the field. In contrast,
the field of masculinities has had a journal since 1998. Likely owing to the greater
number of academic structures supporting the field, scholars produce masculinity
research at a rate 2.77 times higher than femininity research, and they face negative
career consequences when focusing their research on femininity or using methods
deemed to be feminine. In this article, we explore the potential reasons for, and
consequences of, this ‘feminine gap,’ with a focus on femmephobic processes of
knowledge production and the masculinization of expertise. We then introduce the
Journal of Femininities as a partial remedy to this gap through its aim to provide
a home for femininities scholarship and a reexamination of the world through a
feminine lens of inquiry.
