Restrictive Masculinity In Being A Man By Paul Theroux

620 Words2 Pages

Gender is such a controversial subject. There are some people who see it as what you are born as whereas other people see it as a choice to be whatever you want. There are people who judge whatever gender you are, no matter the choices you make. Paul Theroux wrote about how restrictive masculinity is in his article “Being a Man.” There are so many more restrictions on being feminine. Theroux’s idea of masculinity being restrictive is being challenged on the account that being feminine is seen as bad, and weak. Theroux states, “…it is just one more awful thing about being a man.” Do you know how many other stereotypes there are for women? All of them are bad and put a bad image on women. For example, when a woman is afraid of a man because

  • Power, Control and the Cycle of Domestic Violence

    1958 Words  | 4 Pages

    Masculinity is always associated with power and control, while femininity is associated with passivity and weakness. As Allan Johnson states, this is related to the fact that “male dominance creates power differences between men and women” (248). So because of the fact that men hold positions of power, they seem more superior to women, creating these stereotypes about each gender. The reason this is important is because when there is an idea of someone being better and people believe it, then it actually happens.... ...

  • Analysis Of Becoming Members Of Society: Learning The Social Meanings Of Gender

    969 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aaron Devor’s essay “Becoming Members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender” describes how despite popular belief, gender and sex are not directly related and how social norms affect individual’s choice of gender. Devor‘s main argument is that gender is not determined by genitalia, but instead by the individual's own choices. Michael Kimmel’s essay “Masculinity as Homophobia” claims that gender equality is a positive thing for males and that social norms force men to act a certain way. Kimmel’s main argument is that men are always having to protect their masculinity in order to prevent themselves from appearing weak. Both authors present compelling arguments for both gender equality and for how social norms influence individuals’ gender choice. However, the two authors approach the same topic in different ways. Kimmel takes a more laid-back approach to the topic by using simple words and a conversational tone that relates to the casual gender sociologist. Devor writes a more sophisticated essay using complex terms and a more formal tone that relates to the serious sociologist that research gender studies.

  • Doing Time Doing Masculinity Don Sabo Analysis

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Doing Time, Doing Masculinity”, the author begins narrating his experiences as a teacher for correctional facilities in prison. The time in prison has allowed him to focus on how the prison system has deeply impacted the lives of men specifically and how the periods they stay in, force them to show their natural masculinity. The author makes an attempt to identify the way masculinity circulates in prison and how there is a social system that is integratedly established. You have only two sides: the abuser and the abused. He further explains this concept by saying that men are either shown “hard” or “soft”, throughout their time spent in prison. In this social spectrum, in prisons it's always best to show that you are tough and hard or else you will be “at the bottom of the barrel” as some would say.

  • Gender Expression and Social Norms

    Therefore, the constrictive American ideals of male and female gender identities inhibits growth and acceptance of gender expression. Each gender is separated by rules and guidelines that they must abide by. This, in turn, creates inner tensions that inhibit personal growth. For males, this may be, or is, an extraordinarily arduous task. More often than not, it is other male figures, such as the father, that administer and enforce these certain rules.

  • Examples Of Gender Stereotyping

    1543 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gender stereotyping is very common in females, with people giving them expectations on who they are supposed to be or how they are supposed to act. This is very demeaning for most women because they do not want to be or act this way, and they feel pressured to do so. One of the most common reasons that gender stereotypes happen amongst women is so that they can “fit in with society.” This means that people compare these women with others that are more “women-like” and expect them to act alike. When people do this, they are expecting the woman to change so that she can fit the expectation of society. But most times she will not, and will start to become an outcast. This is one of the stepping stones of stereotyping. One of the main reasons that gender stereotypes exist are so that women can

  • West And Zimmerman's Doing Gender

    725 Words  | 2 Pages

    Gender, in society today, is clarified as either being male which embodies traits of masculinity or on the other hand being female embodying traits of femininity. However the embodiment of these traits are just actions, decisions, or expressions rather than sexual anatomical features we are born and constrained by. Gender depictions are less a consequence of our "essential sexual natures" than interactional portrayals of what we would like to convey about sexual natures, using conventionalized gestures. (West, Zimmerman p.130) This excerpt reinforces the idea that society should view gender not as a absolute but rather a work in progress during your day to day routine. This capability to accept that gender is something you do rather than something that is leads opens up the tolerance to realize the implications that traditional gender views have impacted

    A main idea I saw after reading this articles about gender I felt that we really judge people sexuality and equal rights for men and women. In Judith Lorber, in her article “‘Night to His Day:’ The Social Construction of Gender,” explains how gender plays a role in our society in feminine or masculine and including a third person as transsexuals or transvestites. In the article “Rethinking Women’s Biology” by Ruth Hubbard, argues that women can not be compared to male because women get criticized in anything like height, physical ability and culture. The writers are writing about this idea because we make opinions of people by their physical appearance instead of meeting and understanding who that person is. Not only that I feel that we mistaken

    “’Gender’ is defined here as the cultural construction of femininity and masculinity, as opposed to the biological sex (male or female) which we are born with. Although feminist theory in its various forms does not offer any single explanation of the differences between men and women, most feminists would reject the idea that male and female characteristics can be found exclusively in any fixed biological attributes. Although some feminists are more concerned than others with tracing of masculine and feminine characteristics to their essential biological roots … (essentialists), most feminists from a wide range of positions have contributed to the argument about the relative importance of social, cultural and psychic forces in the construction of identity as either feminine or masculine.”1

    “Be stupid, be unfeeling, obedient, soldierly, and stop thinking” (Theroux 507), a sentence in Paul Theroux’s essay Being a Man, that sums up what it was to be a man in the 1960s. What to some was easy to convey and to others hard to prove has kept society throughout the years creating their own views on what it takes to be a man and what it takes a man to prove his manhood. It seems that being a man used to be an easy task, easy to say if you are only looking at the top layer of an unpeeled onion. A thing that throughout the years has not changed drastically, but has left an impact on many generations, making it harder each time for men to prove themselves to society. Being a man—such an ordinary thing—overtime has definitely left its mark on many men. A man used to be able to prove his manhood by having a job, getting married, having children, drinking heavily, behaving like a monster and playing a sport. Things that are still relevant to this day,

  • Masculinity and Femininity

    673 Words  | 2 Pages

    Masculinity and femininity are two terms, which have been interpreted differently throughout history. Both the males and the females have responsibilities and duties but these duties differ based on one’s gender. Gender has played a prodigious role in the economy, politics, and the society. Everyone starts making interpretations of the strengths and weaknesses based on one’s gender.
