The making of Australian middle-class masculinity between 1870 and 1920, as described in Martin Crotty's book "Making the Australian Male", was shaped by a shift away from earlier, more domesticated ideals toward a militaristic and nationalist version of manliness. This transition was heavily influenced by English public schools, the burgeoning Boy Scout movement, and the growing emphasis on sport as a way to cultivate traits like courage, strength, and competitiveness. This process increasingly favored a less nuanced, more physically and nationally-oriented ideal of masculinity.
