Shally and Katz express struggles common to men such as good vs. evil, power vs. submissiveness, and work vs. ownership. Gender, like race and class, is a part of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling leaves little surprise that boys to act act masculine. As Katz says, “we get a very traditional and very conservative version of masculinity represented as an ideal of physical strength, the ability to control and scare other people, to intimidate, and especially to not back away from…

vague ideal that in its simplest form conveys that men are more powerful than women. The language that develops with it is just as dangerous. My father used to say to me “you throw like a girl,” Or I hear guy friends harass each other with “don’t be a pussy.” A former Barlow student who will remain anonymous has said to me that wrestling coaches at our school often use derogatory language and euphemisms like “pull up your skirt”, or “don’t be a bitch.” So, we have men who feel like they have to…

I remember watching your face as we drove, the radio narrating the recent coming out of Chaz Bono. You said, slapping your hands on the steering wheel and raising your voice in a strident tone of righteous indignation, “Thank God Sunny Bono is dead so he doesn’t have to see what his daughter is doing to herself!” Turning to watch the passing scenery of a Chicago neighbourhood, I sighed softly. It wasn’t the reaction I’d hoped for. We were in town visiting an old flame of yours, Hassan, and you…

community members. Hobbs describes how Rob’s neighborhood friends acted towards him: They wondered loudly how a badass like Rob Peace could have chosen an all-boy prep school like that over a real school like Orange High. They made Jesus jokes. They made pussy jokes….Rob had no grounds to fight them for it, because in his eyes these friends were more or less right to laugh. Matriculation at St Benedict’s posed problems.…

I woke up as the bus trundled down the road through the Ozarks of Missouri in the early hours of a winter’s night; it was frigid. I was wearing only jeans and a flight jacket. In the back of the bus, two old guys shared a paper bag between them. Well, being only seventeen they seemed old to me. The smell of booze and rancid men invaded the bus for a long ride from Kansas City to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, through the Ozarks. The sun was starting to come up, but the temperature was still below…

in our country will be tried and some may even be repealed with this much control by one group. Sexual Assault Reform Acts will most likely be the first under attack. Soon we will all be looking up to a man who would like us to all “grab ‘em by the pussy” and who has paid his way out of many rape cases in the past.…

Masculinity is the possession of the qualities traditionally associated with men. Men have an unspoken privilege in America and other countries. Xyfeminist.com listed male privileges and a few that stood out were the privilege of violence, to make rules, womanizing, not being judged, and physical strength. These privileges are attached to the male persona and are given to men by the society at hand. Men do not typically have a choice when it comes to these privileges and some men may fall victim…

What Does the Term Empowerment Mean? ‘Empowerment’ began with the concept of ‘conscientisation’ coined in 1968, by Paulo Freire, a Brazilian academic. Defined as process to which an oppressed person perceives the structural conditions of oppression. Subsequently, through conscientisation, groups are able to take action upon oppressors. In other words, groups and people become critically aware and awareness turns into action. The term empowerment took its origins from conscientisation in the 70s,…

Meanwhile, as Judge Sandoval got his cherry ass busted open by Min-jun, Bailiff Bob stood guard outside the Jury’s Deliberation Room. This was freakin’ foolish. Here I am babysitting these jurors, while the Judge interrogates that Defendant. All of this in the name of law! Bailiff Bob could hear the jurors and the arrogant box-tie wearing Foreman in a heated discussion behind the closed door. This was the only way in or out of the Deliberation Room. The door had a frosted glass panel on the…
