  Gender is a hot topic in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Work
has run the gamut, from assessing how we embed gender in our computational
creations to correcting systemic sexism, online and off. While gender is often
framed around women and femininities, we must recognize the genderful nature of
humanity, acknowledge the evasiveness of men and masculinities, and avoid
burdening women and genderful folk as the central actors and targets of change.
Indeed, critical voices have called for a shift in focus to masculinities, not
only in terms of privilege, power, and patriarchal harms, but also
participation, plurality, and transformation. To this end, I present a 30-year
history of masculinities in HCI work through a scoping review of 126 papers
published to the ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conference
proceedings. I offer a primer and agenda grounded in the CHI and extant
literatures to direct future work.
