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.

B.P. 01 BULDING A MAN

I think mens are born, they are not made. Because even a boy made from female body they wont be function they will behave like a girls. But if the baby grow around strong family , the family will change the baby's behavior. But if a boy born with penile size under .6 inches the Dr. will changing the baby boy in to a baby girls. He might not tell the parents that the baby was a boy.
when that baby grows old some times the baby will have some filings for girl. She might be turn in to a lesbian. She will fell like muscular. when she hit puberty she might grow beards, and she might have question about her gender.
