Masculinity

April 3, 2008 at 4:16 pm (Uncategorized)

In the article, “Where do Boys fit in?” it started off by saying that “boys are resented, being seen both as the unfairly privileged gender and as obstacles on the path to gender justice for girls.”  I think this is a very unfair stereotype because boys in no way are “more privileged” than girls are.  In the older days, they were allowed to do many more things than women were, but times have changed and women and men have equal rights.  Celebrity men are seen as if they should be extremely masculine and many people look up to them.  I think that men have almost as much pressure to look good and be in shape as women do.  However, I don’t think it will ever be quite as bad.
