lip and keep going because men take it that have to always be manly. I disagree with this stereotype. “Be a man,” “suck it up,” are only a few phrases chosen from a plentiful basket of ego damaging creations built into today’s society. Men are born loving people, but at a very young age, they are told to follow the main traits and mindsets that matches them with our world’s concept of a man. But the truth is that men feel just as much emotions when presented with heart-warming material. Now,…

My Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose was a math grade. What? A math grade? How would a math grade greatly affect someone? Coming from someone who has gotten straight “A’s” in all her classes, a math grade - a low “C” - would probably cause lots of commotion. Friday, one more day until the weekend and my birthday. After first period’s geometry test, I can relax and just patiently wait for Mr. Keem to post the grades tonight. My classmates and I all frantically pulled out our notes and began reviewing…

males (Schrock and Schwalbe). To summarize their work, Schrock and Schwalbe try to define what it is to be male through these acts of manhood. It is through this display of manhood acts, in film noir, that help define to male viewers what it is to be a man and what gender role they should play. Throughout Double Indemnity, many of these “Manhood acts” are shown to prove masculinity and display this gender role. For an example, the first scene in this film is of Walter Neff in his office…

Even though we are all humans, our gender defines the way we should act due to how society makes it. Males are interesting objects. They have to keep their chest high and stand their ground.

we enjoy, there are many things which are assumed of people because of their gender. I think of myself as being pretty stereotypically feminine. I don’t like sports, nor am I good at them. I love fashion, shopping, and makeup. I am horrified of spiders and other insects. I take great pride in how I look, which for me means that I am usually in dresses and glittery clothing items. Although, in some other ways, I am not super stereotypically feminine. I’m not a fan of children. I don’t…
