Daydreaming about anything else that involved him being the boy that had a dad and family. A boy who had better things to do then be forced to shuck away at nuts that resulted in cuts and scratches on his fingers. Third, delaying the need to go home after his paper routs was a coping mechanism because he chose to sit in bachelors’ quarters and read. He chose to spend his time fooling around with kids from school, play with dogs, read papers and dream about being a…

In The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao it describes a boy who once he hit his early adolescence years he was bullied and left aside. “He no longer went anywhere near the girls because at best they ignored him, at worst they shrieked and called him gordo asqueroso!” (Wao 135).

This means that men are expected to use their anatomy in the expected ways to the…

Personally I avoid obsessing over the places that people of all kinds make a tinkle or relieve the pressure on their external anal sphincters, or even on occasion both at the same time. These frequently foul smelling places have become the focal point of so much controversy in the world of gender equality. State and local governments, along with schools and…

passionate I am about my education. My grandma’s response to that was basically, “Sure you are, honey. You’ll be nice and passionate about your education until you have a nice man to take care of you and then that will be your life.” Experiences like that make me really uncomfortable, because even if I did want to get married to a man, there’s no reason why I should give up my right to an education just because it’s assumed that I would be his new in-house maid and chef. In my opinion, there…
