As Marable and Espiritu mentioned in their articles, I do believe that women play a role in masculinity. I say this because a woman is what helps a man builds his masculinity, meaning a women boosts them and they act more manly. Men try to be manly so they can get noticed by women. As Marable said in his article the black woman have been through everything alongside the black male, such as slavery. A man having a woman by his side will make him feel like more of a man.
