men advance quicker in female jobs because they are more rare and maybe leaned on more and given hard work. This could be a reason why men are pushed up so quick through the ranks.
from my understanding of the reading women believe men are pushed up quicker in a female position than a female with the glass esccalator. Even though they may not be as qualified as there female counterpart.. S. Kimmel and Michael A. Messner, Ed. New York: Allyn & Bacon, 2001. 211-224.Print

in Zinn's passage you see how Chicano men are treated and belittled in society. Although men they are considered lower class and less educated which would point to there lower paying jobs. They are treated as less than a man by there superiors constantly being yelled at and with no higher education they have no choice but to stay with the jobs they have and just take the abuse. When the men get home this leads to them enforcing there superiority onto their family because they are weaker, this helps make the Chicano men feel masculine because when outside they do not feel it. If the Chicano men were able to understand the English language better i wonder how they would function in society. Would they stray from there low education jobs and reach for more and set themselves up as a masculine role model in our society.

In Espiritu's "All Men Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men In U.S. History" he speak's about how the Asian people were treated when they were brought over. Before reading this article i did not realize how the Asian community was treated. When you think of segregation you tend to think of African American's and how they were treated you never think about how the Asian community was treated. Although treated different than slaves they were still broken down mentally by the White race. For instance the jobs they were given the Asian people are a proud race and when they were brought over to the U.S. they were given lesser jobs they were doing house work, laundry and house maids. these jobs beat down the will of the people and then once they wee detained in the camps during the war, they lost all their property unlike the African Americans who had nothing because they were slaves but the Asians had worked hard for their property and then to just have it ripped away put many into depression. I feel there treatment is not spoken about as much as the African Americans but there treatment was just as bad.

In manning mirable's "the black male" she discusses how the black male and white male lived during slavery. i found many intresting things in her reading that i did not know before. from her reading i have come to my own conclusion that one main factor to slavery was that the white man was affraid of the black man. On page 18 she tells you about the three principles the white man thought of they found the black men as phyisically superrior in every way. This also includes there member because they say the black male was a sexual threat to there women because of there member size they felt less of a man so to show they were in charge and ruled there slaves they would rape and sexually assault the black woman. Another thing they would do was castrate the black men and during the war many owners leaned towards there slave for protection once again showing there dependence on the black male showing there physically superior. After reading this i believe that the slavery movement was not only because they were a different color but because the white man was affraid and intimidated by the black men and they would rather control them to assure that they would not rise up.

In Paul Theroux's "The Male mith" theroux speaks about sports and how bad they are. He goes on to say they make you into "sore losers","latent rapists", "moral degenerates", "social misfits", and he goes on to suggest coaches and students are dumb saying "there is no book hater like a little league coach". his point is not only are sports uneccessary but bad, all they teach is negative things like the many examples Theroux gave. I do not agree with Theroux i believe he is overly anti masculine. Theroux says sports are no good and these horrible things come out of it when any boy or girl, athlete or scholar can be a sore loser or a rapist. Sports contribute to many good things, they keep you in shape, they help develope leadership skills,they help you understand team work and the importance of working together, and how to fallow rules. Also people who play sports on teams ussually are intelligent that is why they are refered to as a student athlete instead of a athlete student. People who get a athletic scholarship must have a cirtain grade to receive it and must maintain it while in school. Over all i do not agree with theroux i feel he may not have lived up to these masculine traits and he has a hate fore masculine standards. His rape reference is also ignorant in my opinion because rape is not only limited to the male gender as there are also many female offenders.

In Judith Lorber's "night to his day" she explains her beliefe of how genderism is a big part of society. You see how she tells us she sent her son to a school where sex and gender is not destinguished. Althought the boys and girls are not treated differently based on there gender they still develope a gender based reaction when asked of something from the teacher. When the teacher ask's the girls to do make up they do it with no problem or hesitation, when she aks's the boys to do the same they say no. Even thoe not seperated by gender the boys still say no to her request this shows how boys have a defying nature opose to girls submissive nature.I believe that gender based actions such as rasing a baby and painting your nails are based upon society in which thye live. I say this because the boys did not do the make up because one boy would not making the other boys fallow had he not said anything would the boys have used make up aswell? it leaves you to question if these feminine things were exceptableof a man to do in society would men do them? You already see men as metro sexuals when 30 years ago it was unherd of, now its exceptable and majority of men do these femanine things as its exceptable in todays society. I think genderism is based upon the society in which you live some things will be accepted and imbrased in your society but not in others which will always make people gender bias based on where there from.

Are males born or made?
from the reading "how to be a man" by Anne fausto-sterling my understanding is that men cannot be made only born. When you are inside the womb your already being challanged to stay a boy if something goes wrong you become a woman once born if your member is 0.6inches you are detirmined inadiquit and made into a female. The reason your sex is change is because in the eyes of the docters you are unable to reproduce and they will change you into a woman because you are no good as a man. Although boys can be made into woman at birth woman cannot be made into boys, one surgeon commented "its's easier to poke a hole than to build a pole" as an example of why boys are changed into girls and not girls into boys. Then the mental aspect comes into play these bots made into girls tend to be tougher than regular girls and some grow up to like woman instead of men which is what a boy does even thoe they are now female and never knew they are originaly male. This makes you wonder if a male is born or made that question comes down to how you define a male. In conclusion i believe males cannot be made regardless of the cases of the woman who were originally boys, I say this because a man's sole purpose in life according to docters is the reproduce and this cannot be tought you are born either with or without this ability.
