Course Reflections.

The most creative assignment was fun to me was the Photo Anaylsis Paper, which it was interesting because it was creative and how we had to describe masculinity in the picture we had to bring for class and do a project about it. I learned from this assignment is that we can describe masculinity no matter how men are and the type of personality they have. The assignment that I really did not care much about was the research paper number one, which was very difficult to do and it was hard for me to write about and to concentrate and so i never like these assignment. I think blogger was a helpful use for this course, because you barely write in this course and all you write is in a computer which is good and now i learn how to use a blogger. Well i thought we were going to masculinity and femenitiy, but i can see that we did masculinity more instead about women, which i get it but i think we should have done better to do creative writing as like the one we did about the Photo, so i wanted more creative writing instead of doing research papers.

The movie, The Hangover, it was basically about four guys friends, Phil, Doug, Stu and Alan are to Vegas for a  bachelorette party for Doug who is getting married. Stu has to lie to his fiancée that they are to Napa Valley for wine tasting which they were going to Vegas, because Stu's girlfriend is very overprotective. They were getting ready to go out but instead they went to the roof from the hotel and Alan was giving toast which he gave them a drug and ended up hangover and really bad and the hotel was really messy. They figured that Doug was missing and they were helping together to find their fiend Doug. As for the reading, "The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity," from Grazian's reading explains us that teenagers in today's society are going out more then the adults. Also guys are searching for girls to hang out with and go out to party and drinking with their friends. The connection between the movie and reading which says something about strip clubs and then the movie is going to Vegas and having fun. Well the guys want to have fun in Vegas for Doug and the reading explains us how teenagers goes out every night and want to have fun also. Also the movie the guys also argued and they bonded together throughout movie to find their friend Doug. Also as for the reading, the guys want to go out and find girls to be with.

Coltrane's reading, fathers are becoming in their children's lives. As the reading was saying that, back then, fathers took more care of their children as women, because women was working and had to do stuff that was needed for the family. But in today's society I both, well I am trying to say that fathers and women we will always be their for the children. Also in today's society, fathers are becoming more close with their children and being with them in everyday life.

Williams reading, men will always have the higher positions as women. Well they though that men would be to feminine to be working as feminine jobs. As the reading is that saying male were against by women because they had women professions and they thought it was not meant for them. Also men are known to be good a jobs than women are because men have more ability to do better then women.

Zinn's reading, is talking about that Chicano men are considered by ' Macho Men', which they controlled everything from the house and their families. So basically they controlled everything around them and it became for advanced for everyone. Also the Chicano fathers considered being more important with their children and also to give them positive influences in their child. In the country, Puerto Rico, Cuban, Mexican American and etc. have the urge to have the stress dominance, aggressiveness,, physical powers and other masculine traits. In pg. 28, I see that, " Davidson and Gordon suggest the following social conditions affect the development of gender roles in ethnic groups : one: the position of the group in the stratification, two: the existence of an ethnic community, and three: the degree of self identification with the minority group. Also Chicanos are overly strong with sex typed in terms of masculine identity.

The reading "All Men Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men in U.S. History' by Yen Le Espiritu , is basically saying that Asian men did everything instead of the woman which the Asian men had to support the family but the men had to cook for the family or the women would also. When WW2 started they had to put the Asian men on concentrated camps and which it was nearly thousand of people which the most were the men and half the women. The Asian men were considered to the laundry, domestic service and food preparation which they called them as "feminized". So the men considered to do everything for the family instead the mom to support them which they called men as females.

Who's the Man?

The article, "The Male Myth" by Paul Theroux and "The Black Male: Searching Beyond Stereotypes" by Manning Marable. They are equally masculine but Paul's reaction to his writing is saying that men are not masculine enough to play sports and do other things that are known for. In Manning's writing is saying that back then men had to work everyday to support their family but then black and white men were segarated and didnt get along. Both articles has somewhat compare aand contrasts because in Paul's writing he thought that men was worthless and couldnt do nothing in life which its not true because men has the ablitiy to be strong and intellectual and they are masculine enough to do anything. In Manning's writing is saying alot of masculine because back then men worked so hard and everyday to support each other and they were the first ones to give them the right to vote. Evern though they though that black males were rapists and as for black women they thought white men also were rapists which is was equally.

It doesn't matter if you're black or white women need to work together to show society that men and women must be treated equal. In the 1800's, Congress passed Fifteenth Amendment, gave black males the right to vote. Black and white women still did not this right after they had a campaign to gain this right and abolish slavery. Douglass was the only man to support black and white women the right to vote.

The article "The Male Myth" by Paul Theroux, he argues that in our society men can defined as merciful and punishing burden. This statement I dont agree because men can do whatever they want and its their decision what they want to do in life. While I reading this article I thought to myself that i think he wanted to be girl because women has more freedom then men do which I dont agree, because men has more freedom then women. Also he argues about men what they wear and the sports that are into, which men are born that way and its their own style and they choose want they want to do in life. If I had the urge to meet Paul in person I will tell him what are his problems with masculinity and femininity cause I have no problems with it because it's their life and what they want to do.

blog-02

Sterling's article is saying men are made and born, which I am in between to that comment because men are made either way. Men are made and born because of what they are and their personality wise. Lorber's article is saying examples to the readers that girls try to be boys and boys try to be girls which is the opposite. Also people find it hard to their gender and how to interact to their social life. Their gender wise can change them by desires, emotional feelings, sexual feelings, relationships, skills, naming, and other things.Anyways, I find it the same thing that men are born and made because of the way they are and their decisions. In our society, genderism can affect a lot of people in life and how to interact with their emotions and the trouble they are having with their gender. Also some people can find it hard whether they want to stay that person or just change and have a good life.

How does genderism affect our society ?

I agree with that question because most people find it hard to believe their gender is created or re-created of human interactions and social life. I like how they gave an example in (pg.13) because you might find babies that dress like a boy or girl or you dont know what is there gender. In our society you will find transvestite or transsexual and their are basically the same because their status is by dressing , speaking , walking , and gesturing. Transvestite is a person who dresses in opposite gender clothes. Transsexuals is a person who has had sex change surgery. As puberty turns they start to name their selves as gender and their sexual feelings and desires starts to change them. Also when they hit puberty and start changing they produce feelings , consciousness , relationships and skills. Also in our society is that people change is their talents , motivations , competence , race and ethnicity. Every society , people has to be a girl or a boy no matter what or if they change their gender. Also if husbands and fathers adopts boys or girls it doesn't matter and its going to be the same thing as for wives and mothers. With the wives and husbands act to their children it can be classified by teaching , learning , emulation and enforcement. Also children learn how to walk , talk , and gesture the way social group says to be a girl or a boy. Another example on (pg.23) a mother has a daughter that is a tomboy and she doesn't want her to be tomboy but when the mother was a kid she was a tomboy by the time she was thinking that i should be a girly- girl. Another example on (pg.25) is a mom who brought his son to a nonsexist elementary school which didn't have girls and boys restrooms and they had a play about squares and circles and the squares had makeup and circles didn't and her son Bobby did not want to wear makeup and either the group of boys. Many cultures will go by clothing , gestures and demoralizing children and also parents will go by naming , birth announcements and dressing.  In our society gender can be classified as varied talents , sexual preferences , identities , personalities , interests and ways organized bye body and social experiences. I learned in this article is that you can not judge nobody in our society if they want to be a girl or boy or transvestites and transsexuals. Also is their own decisions if whether they want to be its not what other people think.

I found this document very interesting because men can be born or made by a girl or boy. This document tells us that doctors don't tell you if your a boy a girl and they might figure it out by giving birth. Also tells us their signs if men does not have a penis or they do and they might be a girl if the penis is below .6 in can be a girl. Also its state that  John Money says that men are made and not born, which i highly agree because its how they are made by the woman's womb or it can be a different way.If men turns out to have no penis or something else they can decide if they want to change that its not no other person can tell you to change but men or woman can either choose if they want to be a girl or boy. I found something interesting that i never knew is that if a woman has a penis it turns out that woman becomes lesbian, its interesting to find that true because some woman would just choose to be a man or be a women. Also if men or women turns out to have a penis or something else they will have some aggression to them or some emotional problems and which that is uncomfortable for men and women. Also the parents should be confident of what their child might be a boy or a girl.
