Blog post #6 - venn diagram
Espiritu's reading (Asian)
- myth of being feminine (fragile)
- no interest in sex (not into women)
- stereotypically seen as having "feminine jobs"(laundry, cooking, and doing nails)
- both criticized about the jobs they take
- women in their culture have power if they have a job
- Very aggressive (try to be too manly, alcoholics)
- physical jobs like construction which means less education
- Like to take advantage of their women (exploit)
Lorber's reading blog post #2
In this reading we see how genderism affects society. We see how society expects males to be masculine and women to be feminine. Whatever society thinks is being a male or a female at the time is what is accepted. We saw that in some cases transvestites turned into transsexuals because they wanted to fit in or not be an outcast. We also saw how there are invisible lines that can't be crossed or rules that are followed. Men always seemed to be on top or have more power over women. Lastly gender and sexuality play a major role in how people act in society.
