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.
