I think the movie The Hangover and the article “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as a Collective Activity” by Gazian shows us the relationship between bromance and masculinity. How they bond with each other. In the movie The Hangover Doug is getting married, so his friends Phil, Stu is taking him to Vegas for his bachelorette party, and they are taking Alan (Doug’s brother-in-law) with them. Phil is leader of this group; he makes most of the decision for the group. Phil behave like a free man, he wants to have fun. When they came to a hotel in Vegas Phil wanted to gets big room, so they can have some girls over. He was looking after everyone so everyone can have a good time. I think the way Phil, Doug, Stu and Alan behave in this movie is masculine. Because they came to Vegas for bachelorette party, they still a tiger from Mike Tyson and a police car. Stu pull his own tooth and married a hooker, Alan gambles and won $80k, Phil rescue his friend and him shelf from the police. This movie shows emphasis on the relationships/bonds between males. Because when Phil, Stu and Alan thought the Chinese guy (Chao) kidnap Doug they did anything to rescue their friend from Chao. Phil, Alan, Stu and his wife went to casino and gambled Stu $10k to win $80k, so they can rescue Doug. They didn’t bail on their friend. It shows a close bond between these men. There are some connections between the movie and what David Grazian discusses about males’ behavior in “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity”. In the movie we see when the guys got ready to hit the clubs; Phil took everybody to the hotels roof to get some drink. Like Gazian mentions in the article “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as a Collective Activity”,
The ritualistic use of alcohol is normative on college
campuses,particularly for men (Martin and hummer 1989), and students
largely describe pregaming as an economical and efficient way to get drunk
before going out into the city……However, it also seems that pregaming is
bonding ritual that fosters social cohesion and builds confidence among
young men in a anticipation of the challenges that accompany the girl
hunt.(326)
The movie and the articles overall message is that no matter how bad is the situation, You never leave your man behind. Always stick together and help each other out.

Blog Post # 9

In today’s group work our group talked about “different aspects of life such as social, political context don’t play in favor of fatherhood. Like in custody battle mothers are most likely to get the custody of the child. But in contrary argument we mentioned sometimes mother don’t get the custody of the child. Because sometimes mothers are unfaith to the child, in that case father gets the custody. To me father can protect his child more than the mother. Now a days we can see in the subway or outside on the road father's are taking care of their children like they used to do around 1930s. According to the article “Fathering: Paradoxes, Contradiction, and Dilemmas”, Scott mentions “… three out of four American fathers said they regularly read magazine about child care, and nearly as many men as women were members of the PTA” (436).

The article “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions" it discusses about men having Advantages in female’s professions. When men work in "female" profession it seems like they get better facility then females. When it comes to hiring and promotion sometimes men gets the job or they get promoted over women. Like Williams mention on his article “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions” that “A Texas librarian at a junior high school district " would hire a male over a female."(213).

I trust this because this is a peer reviewed articles that have been published in a book, and the author interviewed so many people based on this article. Christine L. Williams has Ph.D. and she is a professor of the sociology department at the University of Texas. She has a references page that supports her claims on this article.

Everywhere we go we see men have the upper hand. Even in the job field they are the one get promoted before women. The author mentions that men have “discrimination in hiring". He also state men in “The Working Environment" and their" Discrimination from "outsiders".

Most of the Asian (Korean) men used to be the man of their house when they were in Korea. There wife did most of the work for them. The man worked outside and the wife stayed home doing cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the kids and all kinds of work for home. But when those Asian men came to U.S. they just lost their man power. Around World War II, racialized and gendered immigration policies forced them in to feminized jobs, like laundrymen, food preparation, and salons. Because the Asians were new to this country, they didn’t know anything about the economy or the job facility. The white man wasn't going to do the woman's job, so they used Asians instant. Asians didn’t have the economic support or any good jobs. Because there were no good jobs, the Asian men started too worked for the white families as a domestic servant. When the Asian men worked under the white family they used to treat the Asian male like animals. The reason Asian men worked under white families rather than Asian women, because there was shortage of Asian woman. During World War II U.S immigration political banned the entry of most Asian women. They only wanted the Asian male not their family. Because of war the Asian men lost their economic ground and their wife has to start working. By letting their wife to go to work the Asian men looses there power over there wife’s. In the article “All Man Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men in U.S. History" Espiritu mentions “In Korea my wife used to have breakfast ready for me…. She didn’t do it anymore because she said she was too busy getting ready to go to work. If I complained she talked back at me, telling me to fix my own breakfast….” (39). In this article “All Man Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men in U.S. History” Espiritu said that some women hold power over certain group of men (39).

Because of the white people the Asian men loses there power (masculinity) outside of the home by doing the feminized jobs and they looses the power over there women. And the war (camp life) created a big distance between the Asian men and the U.S. born children.

Who's the Man?

According to Theroux male a man can chose to do anything they want. Even if they wants to write. Its ok to show there expiration to the world. Theroux says that being in basketball teem can teaches you how to be a poor loser. Men don't have to be strong all the time. To Marable men is strong, hard worker. he showed black male are men but they are not free, they work for the white male. black males are tough but there masculinity  taken by the white male. he show us men are violent, animal. this violent is not a real masculinity.By looking at Theroux Marabls writing we can see man can be soft and strong.

White society used African male as slave. The reason White people use them as a slave because they were strong, hard worker, and uneducated. Black male were known as lastly sexual potency to the white women (Marable 18). Many white women were interested in their male slaves. Like Marable says in the article “The Black Male: Searching Beyond Stereotypes” that “ Another dilemma, seldom discussed publicly, was the historical fact that some white women of social classes were not reluctant to request the sexual favors of their male slave”(18). When the white male saw that their woman’s are interested on black male they felt sexually inferior. It questions their man hood. Because of these things white male started to take revenge by routing rape sexually abuse the black women. The white male felt that the black male was a better protector then themselves. So they castrate the black males. All though the white male felt that the black male was uneducated, but they are the one contributed to agriculture, they were good at it. This article mentions that “Africans were the first to cultivate wheat on the continent; they showed their illiterate masters how to grow indigo, rice, and cotton. Their extensive knowledge of herbs and roots provided colonists with medicines and preservatives for food supplies” (Marable 17). In the time of war black slaves volunteered to join the continental army. So the white male used black males to protect themselves and their property.

BLOG POST #3

Being a man involve playing sport, working hard, being the tough guy. So when guys are young their parents tell them to play sport, or join the Boy Scout. So they can be tough  and strong.  Parents do these things because they want their children to be strong, and they can face any kind of obstacles they come across. This are all example of growing up from boy to man. I am disagreeing with him, when he said“just as high-school basketball teaches you how to be a poor loser.” Being in a basketball team or any other sport don’t makes anybody loser, it teach them discipline, how to behave. It makes them to realize that how tough  real life can be, how hard we have to work to achieve something great in our life.

Different Societies play different rules when it comes to choosing a gender.  Someone can get the idea of change their gender from the society, because the way they are treated.   It’s very important for the parents to dress their children properly. If it’s a boy the parent should wear them boy clothing, and if it’s a girl wear them girls clothing. So the child can be mistaken by the society. Because it’s very important for the society to know the gender of the children, or otherwise the society can bring bad influence to that child. If the boy dressed s a girl when they are young ,people will treat him like he is a girl, and sometimes he might get used to of that feelings. And when he grow up he might turned in to gay.  so its very important for the parents to dressed their children properly. when it comes to masculinity man should act like a man. when any man become transvestite  the society should  not call them a man, because if you don’t dress like a man you are not a man. Men don’t dress like a women, in my knowledge if someone dress like a woman the society shouldn’t allow them to live on that society. In Judith Lorber's  "Night to his Day", she talked about circumcise. the Jewish father circumcise their infant. Where I come from we have many different society. some of the society believes that if a mother give birth to a boy then they must circumcise their child, or otherwise he wont count as a boy (man). so I think the society  plays a big rules in genderism.
