    Abstract

    In 2010, this journal published an early exposition of inclusive masculinity
    theory. Since then, the theory has been widely adopted within both the sport
    and masculinities literature. Furthermore, a large number of other scholars
    not using the theory have also documented and labelled new masculinity
    types. There has also been refinement of Inclusive Masculinity Theory,
    alongside theoretical critiques. In this article, we provide an overview of the
    genesis of the theory and its refinement, before considering and responding
    to published and unpublished critiques of the theory. We then suggest future
    directions for research.
