Masculinity

Our media and society makes men feel that from an earlier age they have to be tough and emotionless by doing this guys have to put on a mask hiding who they really are. This has come about because when a guy is showing weakness he gets called a wussy or a fag along with many other terms. After this happens they feel they need to prove that they're not a wussy and are a real man. Some kids have taken the very radical way by shooting up their school or committing other crimes.

  1. I agree with you that guys do have to put on masks so they aren't made fun of

  2. Hi, Trent. I enjoyed reading your post and how you summarized the concept. You mentioned that in our society men feel they must hide their true feeling in order to fit in, but do you agree with it? How do you think we can create a better society? Thank you for your post. Take care.
