Who's the Man

Paul Theroux says "being a man means being stupid..." and Manning Marable believes a black man is a father, husband, lover..." I believe the Marable describes a man as more masculine than the way Paul Theroux did. Being a man means being a hardworker, being a good dad etc. I do agree that men can be stuped at times but a man is known to be the dominant gender. Paul Theroux only tells us why he dislikes being a man but, Marable tells us what a man is expected to be in society. He also tells us what different issues a white man and a black man has to deal with. I believe the way Marable described a male is more masculine.
