Boys Don't Cry

I believe that men and women should not play sports together. Every person has had a time in their life when they had an argument about which gender is better. On a playground in grade school every child has been in an argument saying “boys and girls drool” or vice versa. In this day and age those same kids have grown up and women have gain equal rights with men which they deserve. There’s an argument saying that men and women should be playing sports together as well. However, there are a lot…

the study of male preference because it eliminates any restriction women may have in finding a potential mate because they have no freedom to say yes or no. After analyzing the findings of Sohn I agree with the theory that has been developed, but don’t entirely agree with it because it leaves out homosexual couples. In today’s world, homosexual couples, as well as marriages, are becoming more acceptable and they need to be taken into consideration. These findings may be completely accurate for…

up right after the train started moving?” I wondered, “Maybe he had just realized that he missed the station?” While I was thinking, someone obtrusively squeezed past me—a young boy tried to take the seat. “Well.” I said. Of course, an empty seat in a crowded metro cabin always attract people to sit down. “Hey.” The boy was stopped by the man, who put an arm on his shoulder, and whispered something to him. The boy’s face immediately flushed. He stood up, and moved a few feet away. The man…

and Power. Three primal urges that create a divide and contrast between fellow human beings. We see the devastating effects and the sheer volatility of these components in Ralph Ellison’s short story “Battle Royal”. In the story we find a young black boy who is showered with adulation from not only his community, but also by the wealthy and influential white people of the region as well. This only exsterbates the constant torment the young man feels, due to the fact that he cannot get out of his…

and it takes a special occasion to get me in a dress. I am not tough for a girl, I am just tough; I am not a bossy girl, I am a boss that is a girl. Despite the fact that every president has been male, that does not mean being in office is an all boy option. Even though my pre-vet work is mostly female, this does not make pre-vet an all girl option. When society stops labeling what gender is expected of what, it is when my accomplishments will no longer be a surprise; is when female leadership…

there weren’t any examples in their lives. I’ve mentioned this in earlier chapters but a male is going to embody two things. He will either take on masculine energy or he will take on feminine energy. The examples that a boy has from birth are crucial to his development as a man. Boys need the influence of men to show them how to be one. Being a physically grown male does not ensure you as a man or a boss. Bosses are made not born but the position is there for you. All you have to do is seize…

Many little girls don’t want to put on tiaras and play dress-up, many don’t want to wear dresses and cute little sandals. There are females that at a very young age choose to play football with the boys, throw on a baseball cap and go. “As a girl who disliked dresses and often had shorts on underneath (who wants everyone to see your underwear when you do a cartwheel…

However, there is a stigma stereotype which suggests that only males can run and be a part of a gang. It can be argued that girls can take on the typical role of male gang members. Written in the Centre for Social Justice the children’s commissioner uses the term ‘Gangster Girl’ to describe a girl who takes on the male personas within gangs (2014). Therefore showing that females are just as much able to run their own gang on the same or similar level to males. Back in 2013, ‘The Independent’…

In “The Challenge”, Gary Soto introduces Jose as a young boy who experiences a change in his personality as he undergoes liminality. Prior to liminality, Jose is a teenager boy who is ingenuous and has a lack of experience of loving a girl. Jose is naïve because he thinks that receiving perfect test scores will make Estela notice him. Jose is exited to show Estela his new grades in history class: “Although Jose received another A-plus for his history quiz, Estela did not congratulate him.…

returned to Earth. Ender’s choice of words show his personality by making himself a serious person and not one that people would go to for sympathy. “Sometimes we make mistakes,” Petra whispered to him once. It was a plea for help. “And sometimes we don’t,” Ender answered her. If she got help, it would not be from him. He would teach; let her find friends among the others.” (Card ‘284) Ender thinks of himself very lowly, and compares himself to Peter, his abusive brother who Ender is not like,…
