Blog Post #3: The Male Myth

Paul Theroux says "being a man means being stupid, be unfeeling, obedient and soldierly, and stop thinking". I do agree that men do all theses things but, just because your a man it does not mean you have to be "manly". There are a lot of things men are known to do, or how they have to behave. You were born a man so be a man, society does not have to make you "manly". I agree and disagree with this statement, being a man means being stupid, soldierly, etc...but it's up to you to make yourself a man and not let society make you "manly".

post #2 "night to His Day"

Lorber's reading basically talks about how society views genders. people are so used to seeing a woman on taking care of a child, that it shocks them if a man does it. i believe society looks at genders as the male being more dominant than the female. Both genders is what makes this world, and society is what makes the genders.

Blog Post #1: Are males born or made

I believe that men are made not born. I belive this because growing up as a child your parents will buy you toys and clothes based on your gender. yes if you were borned with a penis your a male, but after birth you get treated like a boy is suppose to be treated. Your father wants you to be tough and play sports, because that is what a man is known to do. Your mother buys you " boys" clothes and toys, and you will play with little boys. Because a child grows up with everyone telling them or showing them how they are suppose to act based on their genders, they might be ashamed or scared to act as how the opposite gender will act. This is why i believe men are made and not born, because even though they you were born with a certain gential, they are told how to act by your peers or family. This world is what makes a man.
What shocked me in this reading is that doctors remove genitials if a male was born with a "small" penis. I mean come on it's a newborn that we're talking about here. His penis is suppose to be the size of a grown man penis?
