4 basic rules of masculinity
Masculinity is the repudiation of the feminine
"He's so gay, "He's a wuss"
Men don't act "masculine" to impress women, they do it for the approval of other men.
women become a type of "currency" for mento achieve better status
boy felt like he couldn't wear lavender shorts because he was going to school on a day when they were learning about homophobia?
F-word "just means taking away your manhood"???? That slur was used against gay individuals like gay men. Gay men are STILL men.
"You have got to keep this boy away from his mother"
.
Masculinity is measured on wealth, power, and status
.
"homophobia is the fear of other men" fearful of what a homophobic man might do? fearful that gay men express themselves truthfully, and angry you can't do the same?
Man feels like it won't matter as much when he's older, but for now, "I'd lose everything" if he were to step outside the tight box of masculinity
Be aggressive, dangerous, and careless
"They [brothers] were like, always ragging one me, calling me a pussy, if I didn't want to play football or wrestle
Manwiches (what lol?)
"Kill myself" " "Kill them" "I dunno, I'd probably pull a Columbine. I'd show them that they can't get away with calling me that shit [gay]"
3 times more likely to not wear a seatbelt
93% of road ragers are male
No emotion in crisis
"the fake front of impervious, unemotional independence, a swaggering posture that boys believe will help them to present a stoic front"
"Boys feel effeminate if they
feel
emotions, not just express them" THATS WILD TO ME
Rejection of femininity "turns those happy, energetic, playful, and emotionally expressive five-year olds into sullen, withdrawn, despondent nine-year olds" This despondency will likely carry on into adulthood
A coach would "completely humiliate" players if they got hurt, forcing them to never show if they were in pain
Fathers telling their sons to be "strong and tough in this world"
