They all have the same mindset, we feel they are all lazy and want one thing. Not only do I hear my friends talking about it, but I see other girls talk about how guys are all the same on social media. I don’t think guys realize how they are acting because that is how every guy acts in our generation. Another point that she stated in the article, was that it is proven that women are most likely to graduate college and get a better job than men now. It doesn’t say that all men don’t want to get a job and be successful, but it does say that the percentage has gone up. And I totally agree with that, not all men are lazy. Some of them want to start a family and get married and have an education. But then there are the other guys that want to sit around with their friends and do nothing but party and smoke pot. “Their male peers often come across as aging frat boys, maladroit geeks or grubby slackers” (Hymowitz 492). I feel like this quote explains very well why the rate of men graduating college has gone…
I had read an essay titled “Act Like A Girl” by Dominique Freeman. The essay explores the issue of gender roles in our society and families. Freeman tells her readers of events in her life when her mother would force ideas of what a girl should look like and act like upon her. Freeman considered herself a total tomboy, which is the opposite of what her mother wanted her daughter to be. I know of many cases when women are not being accepted as who they really are because they do not fit into the stereotype of a “woman.” I had the idea of getting a male’s perspective of the issue. I wanted to interview a male who has experienced similar experiences with not being accepted because he was not the stereotypical “man.”…
Had the daughters and wives of the countryside played a part in the committees in Tunnel Six and elsewhere? Was it common for a woman to bring a dispute before the assembly? What did the fact of the conflict's setting a pair of women against each other say about solidarity and division by gender in the countryside? Could a woman ever be a rondero? In 1977, a woman's committee was organized in Cuyumalca by Omelia Lopez. Omelia was soon to be the first president of the women's committee. The question is why did it take this long for women to be heard?…

In a modern colorful culture we find that there is not a cookie cutter approach for understanding gender. Since gender is multifaceted and carries a broad spectrum of definitions and formulations, it is then worthwhile to try to understand these definitions and formulations by using theories to help us classify masculine and feminine traits or the lack thereof as male or female. We can delve into this complex concept and break the ambiguity of it by examining three theories which are biological, interpersonal, and psychological in scope. This paper will explain each theory and will offer my views on them as well.…
Today, the idea of masculinity has largely remained the same in our culture with a few added pressures on both genders. Our world is a fast-paced one, filled with even bigger crowds, louder noises and shorter deadlines. Even the pressure to constantly stay plugged in with social media, email and texting can be tough on someone who requires regular peace and quiet.…
Michael Kimmel talks a lot about how guys between the ages of 16 and 26 are living in the world called Guyland (Kimmel, 5). Things such as sports, sex, porn, and video games consume guys in Guyland. Kimmel also brings up that girls/women are in a way questionable or illegal in Guyland, however women/girls are still present in Guyland. Two ways females participate in Guyland are by supporting Guyland by conforming to what men want and by complying with guys by trying to be one of them. Women can also resist Guyland by embracing qualities they already posses and not conforming to the wants of males.…
Let’s begin by comparing the masculine mind to the feminine mind. The masculine mind is creative masculine minded people are model building problem solving artistic inventive music art literature beauty dance fashion everything. Masculinity is the source of everything from the wheel to good jokes to guitar solos to all of the technological achievements of western modernity.

Feminine minded people have never produced a thing. Masculine minded people are optimistic and open minded masculine…
One of the most unique differences between men and women are their interests. Men prefer more physically stimulating activities. While women on the other hand prefer more aesthetically pleasing activities. While men are generally more interested in cars, sports, and working out. Women are more interested in shopping, makeup, and material objects like diamonds. Among all the things men desire, activities such as sports are enjoyed mainly for the purpose of providing men with challenges. Men play sports not just for physical activity but for some type of competition with others which is offered by video games constant obstacles. These challenges are often found in video games and therefore provide men with a feeling of masculinity that women clearly do not have or desire.…

Along the last centuries women have fought to be treated as equals to men. They have tried to have the same opportunities, the same rights and to fulfil the same roles. The battle between sexes seems to have ended some decades ago. As a result, in modern times the lives of women and men are similar as regards responsibilities and privileges. But being born a woman I have always thought that the sole fact of being a man could make my life easier in different aspects.…
Gone are the days when women were supposed to be bewitching. Now males have encroached this department. Male vanity(read metrosexuality) is in, female grooming is out. Outdoorsy is in, presentability is out. On the contrary, eve-teasing is out, male-bashing is in. Menopause was an old grandma’s tale. Andropause has taken over. Males are proud to show their cleavage and not ashamed to wax or pierce their body parts, manicure, pedicure, to the extent of threading their eyebrows. Liposuctions and nose jobs are no more left in a woman’s kitty. On the contrary women feel proud to ride bikes, use abusive language, smoking hubble-bubble at sheeshah` parties, seeing male escorts and etching manly tattoos on their backs.…
