A modern example of direct guarding is ‘vigilance’ which is coming home unexpectedly to see what the female partner is up too. Wilson et al found that women who agreed with questionnaire items such as ‘he is jealous and doesn’t want you to talk to other men’ were twice as likely to have experienced serous violence from their partners. Men can also guard against their partners infidelity either by conferring benefits or by inflicting costs, including violence. As not all men possess resources that might be used to provide benefits, some men are especially prone to using violence or the threat of violence (Shackleford et al). According to Daly and Wilson, death of a partner from physical violence may be an unintended outcome if an evolutionary adaptation that was designed for control rather than death.
Morgan Faber John Michael Drew Writing and Rhetoric I October 31, 2014 It’s Not Easy Being a Man Cultural and social demands lay a heavy burden on the youth in today’s society. Strict social behaviors define who and what a person is or is not. Deviations from these social norms are treated with harsh and unforgiving disapproval by the general population. In particular, males are taught from early childhood how they are supposed to act in order to “be a man.” Michael Kimmel explains this concept excellently in his article, “‘Bros Before Hos’: The Guy Code.” In the piece Kimmel states that the saying, “be a man,” brings to mind many masculine mottos such as “boys don’t cry,” “size matters” and “nice guys finish last.” Unfortunately these slogans have negative connotations. They typically emphasize that men are supposed to be unemotional, powerful and successful beings.
Even though the younger boys might repay the older mentors with sexual gratification, the relationship is not primary based upon the bodily aspect. Instead, it is on the intellect height since at the very beginning of the relationship the younger boys establish the goal of seeking new knowledge from the older man.
Social media destroys social bonds. For instance, Facebook is a relationship destroyer. People like to gossip on their statuses about their relationships and family problems. Instead of talking face to face about their problem, people would rather post it on Facebook. People that gossip on Facebook about their personal and family problems can cause them to break up with their girl or boy friend, their marriage can fall apart, which can lead to a divorce, and it can cause an argument or fight with their family member, which can also lead them to stop talking or wanting to be around each other.
John Updike on the other hand had another motive in mind when he wrote “A&P”. During the late 60’s sex was not talked about. A boy staring at a bunch of girls was very controversial at those times. Updike expresses a young boys sexual frustration and the awkward years of the young teens. (Semsky, par.
The term is a vulgar insult and is usually associated with lack of masculinity. Loss of respect among this group of males is also associated with being “pussywhipped”. What I find troubling about this word is that no vulgar equivalent for a relationship where the man is dominant over the woman exists. According to my group of male friends, “It’s because that’s how it’s supposed to be. You don’t need a special word for it.” The existence of this word and the lack of a female counterpart reflect the perception of women in the culture of male college freshmen.
Questions of gender arise when analyzing Jeff's new passive, immobile role — one that is quite different from his prior role as that of an action photographer. Women are typically portrayed in films as passive beings in need of assistance, but Hitchcock reverses the gender stereotype in Rear Window by placing a man in that 'domestic' role; however, it is more apt to say that Jeff is being subjected to the passive role, as he mopes a lot about his state of affairs. Jeff also displays a fear of being confined to marriage when talking to Lisa (Grace Kelly). According to Geiger and Rutsky, "Jeff's impaired potency, represented by his broken leg, connects him by association to the impairment — or castration — that he believes marriage itself threatens," (p. 485). This symbolic castration of the male protagonist reflects Hitchcock's mode of addressing gender ideology in his films.
Yet, when they grow up and become men they are told it is unmanly to weep. To assume that it is only acceptable for a boy to show sensitivity, hurt, pain and vulnerability and not a man takes away an essential element in expressing feelings. No wonder men’s groups have sprung up during the 1980s. These supportive groups encourage men to express their built up emotions. The Cry opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.
