To understand one gender he had to understand the relationship of the two together also. One could tell that in Kimmel’s work he started with a very broad population, but could narrow it down the more he found out about different age groups and different races. It was not difficult for him to focus on college campuses, when there is such an abundance of them, especially ones with the stereotypical jocks and Greek fraternities. These guys were the ones that he was most interested in. He wanted to know how they became the way they were, and why they acted out to impress each other. The biggest question that struck me as important was why we allowed men to act in this way. Why does society allow males to see themselves as entitled, violent, and misunderstood when they don’t have to feel that way. I believe by the end of the novel Kimmel did answer all of his questions and come up with some solutions to hopefully change the attitude of the guys in our
