Blog Post #2 Masculinity Kash


1.)From today’s modern-day society must are the mean are susppose to be manly or the dominate one in the family or just in public. The character in the roles of television and movies is the man being the big bad super hero or army guy that saves the day and gets the girl. That cause a lot of stereotyping of people opinions in there minds.

 I would say that all the levels are being used in this question. If the media is going to advertise this to the people that men are the dominance person in the T.V shows or movies. The men’s role is done on a more of a societal and a interpersonal scale. 

2.) I think some of the patriarchy does impose some of the masculine in men. Like the freedom of speech that they want to express without being judge. I think that a lot of men are judge of saying  stuff. Men think they have to show no emotion and have to be studs at everything they do and say, and they don’t like being proved wrong

Yes. I would get with that question and statement. Men are born to be in power. With watching there father and doing what he does around the house by bring the income home and the support of there family.

3.) Men need to be liberated that they can’t show them crying and show any emotion to anyone that is how we are just taught to do. I know that I had my emotion because I was taught to do that from my father and friends. Even on the baseball diamond the scouts don’t want to see you throwing stuff around or just crying to the umpire. But sometimes you can’t hide when someone dies or even a movie sometimes people show it. The other night we were watching the movie warrior and there are some parts that just bring tears to your eyes. Yes I think we have seen some changes in society with men staying home and taking care of the children and the women going to work and bringing the income home. Even some men are using the feminine side  with television shows and movies. Things are changing over time it is to day world not the past.

  1. Its funny that you bring up movies as a catalyst for emotions. Any strong scenes of father and daughter/son part in a movie usually stirs up some emotional response from me. But I hate to cry so I hold it back, but I do make a mental note of it.

  2. Great examples! Sports and the action-hero genre are 2 very political areas in terms of masculinity. For future blogs, think about how you can bring these examples to life by adding visuals and video content.
