Male baboons will follow female baboons around, guarding them from other males and participating in frequent grooming and sexual mountings (Bercovitch 1983). Due to the fact that other male olive baboons often harass couples in consortship, often there is a large male turnover during a single female fertility period—thus their polyandrous behavior. Female baboons often consort with an average of three or four male baboons during one of their…

Many cultures are quite different, but when it comes to people having children, male or female, all cultures have the same opinion on having male children. Since birth, children are assigned a male or female status and it is common for people to obey social rules on their biological sex. It has been said that males are more dominant and independent and that’s why males are preferred more than females. This type of socialization cannot be changed in societies because it has already been stuck and…

the traces of male preference in these fields continues to exist today. In Michael Kimmel’s Guyland, he argues that young men ages sixteen to twenty-six develop behaviors of hypermasculinity as a group in an effort to denounce feminism. However, the transition to maturity that happens afterwards as claimed by Kimmel does not take place as seen today. In America today, STEM fields display similar male attributive views as they appear in Guyland. STEM fields promote an attitude of male dominance…

In her essay “Beauty (Re)discovers the Male Body” Susan Bordo manages to recognize an underlying fundamental change in society’s attitude towards advertisements and specifically sees that unfold in the growing shift towards male sexually oriented advertisements with the presence of feministic qualities. In addition, the pace at which society now moves thanks to the rapid changes in technology has made Bordo’s claims challenged as society has become more informed and adept to ongoing cultural…

The ability to understand male role models and their effects on a young boy creates for a more intelligent understanding as to why boys act the way they do. While examining the movie Boyhood, directed by Richard Linklater, and the entry “Boyhood” by Eric Tribunella, manhood is defined by “the ability to dominate, care for, or exercise power over others”, while “to be a boy means to be flawed, inchoate, or incomplete” (Pg. 22). These two sources together both offer various views on what boyhood…

her team wanted to map neural connections in the brains. To check whether there is a difference in the pattern of neural connection between male brain and female brain they tested brains of 428 males and 521 females aged eight to 22. (Sample I.) The greatest connectivity between left and right hemisphere was observed in women brains. The connections in males brain were highly confined to the separate…
