Look at the results from Tuesday's survey on the traits of masculinity, which I also showed in class. How important are the top two responses, muscles and athletics/sports, for establishing masculinity? Should we be working to take into account other characteristics?
Society puts alot of what i would call as stress on boys to turn into men by being jacked and being good at sports. because in society if you arent good at or built your gay, thats one thing society can outcast you for...."oh you dont like football your a fag....." its important for man to find himself but you dont have to be jacked and you dont have to like sports to do it.
This does not really make sense to me. Could have more detail in what you were getting at and I think it would make a lot more fluent. Maybe make a better refrence to what actually went on during the talk/reading.
ReplyDeletewhat did you mean by it's important for man to find himself?
What harm does using "fag" or "gay" as an insult do to young men who are actually gay? There's been a string of suicides by teens who are gay or perceived as gay in the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteThis was a hard post to read. You need to review your posts and make sure that other people will understand what you are talking about. I'm not sure what "jacked" means.. I'm assuming from your content it may mean muscular?
