Scholarship on gendered political inequality after war pays surprisingly little attention to an otherwise ubiquitous concept in feminist security studies: militarized masculinities. Through qualitative fieldwork in Kosovo, I trace the ways through which militarized masculinities negatively influence women's postwar political participation. However, I also find that the hegemony of militarized masculinities recently started to be contested as military backgrounds increasingly become associated with negative, instead of heroic, attributes. While this creates a competition for hegemony, it does not constitute a shortcut to emancipation. Instead, I find that militarized masculinities created path dependencies that uphold patriarchal domination beyond the hegemony of militarized masculinities
