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.
