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.
