There's absolutely no doubt that Hank Stamper can be seen as an exemplar of toxic masculinity. I deliberately did not use the term 'toxic masculinity' because my perception is that it can often be used dismissively. So he understood that mindset very well and really admired Kesey's skill at creating a person with that mindset. This can mold people's attitudes about what constitutes a 'real man'. There are a lot of very physically tough and punishing jobs in that part of the country-mining, oil rigs, ranching, logging, commercial fishing. But he went to graduate school and worked for several years in the western and Pacific Northwest regions of the US. To be clear, my husband is about as far from Hank Stamper as is possible. Thank you for your very thoughtful reply to my comment. I think one has to look at a character like him with some nuance. But Hank also has a great deal of courage and grit. He’s very unlikeable and the sort of man whose implacable will can crush anyone in its path. At least some men who do really hard and dangerous jobs have qualities similar to Hank’s. When the shit really hits the fan, could a man like Hank Stamper step up and see the situation through to the end? Quite probably, yes. Would I want to be involved with a man like him? God no. I also think it’s a great book about a certain type of masculine mindset that in its own way has elements of nobility to it. I think Hank is a realistic portrayal of a man from that environment in that time. I have no idea whether Kesey himself viewed women the way that Hank Stamper did. Logging is one of the most dangerous jobs out there. But one point is that women were secondary players in this very macho and brutal logging environment. I agree with your GF about the way women are portrayed. I read this years ago, at my husband’s recommendation.
