This paper studies the present patterns of 'masculinity' in the context of global capitalist economy that maneuvers technological 'progress' giving rise to women's 'empowerment'. The paper seeks to examine how the modern technological construction 'power', 'empowerment' and 'disempowerment' is reshaping the contemporary ideas of masculinity and gender issues, and thereby helps to sustain the heteronormative power relations.
