This article explores the notion of 'troublesome' masculinities that characterise much of the policy discourse and programme thinking on problems of young men and gender. It critiques the dimorphism that shapes this vieuu of young men's gender trouble, and the 'culturalism' that constrains the perception of the troubled times in uuhich many young men live.
