Welcome


Incase your wondering, this is a class blog relating to the struggles between males and female in modern day society. Males are viewed ad the dominating gender who has control of his surrounduings, and apparently has an easier time coasting through society without any issues. While women always have to work harder then men to achieve their goals even though they have the more "superior intelect." Well I happen to disagree. believe it or not but women have easier access to prodominatly male occupations. A great example is the construction trades. Although the majarity of union workers are male, women are preffered. Because Women are so scarse, union preffer to hire female trade workers rather than male because it allows them to level out the feild.

  2. Your thesis, which is a claim thus far, works well for this outline. The order of your main points is effective as it progresses from grooming, to attire/clothing and male celebrities as models of this new type of masculinity. But you need to develop this outline much further and include specific examples from your primary sources which should follow the MLA format. In regards to grooming, think about what it means for men to shave? Is Esquire[italicized or underlined] encouraging a clean shaven look or 5 o'clock shadow or a full beard? You need a secondary source to explain why this new look is being promoted. Now in terms of clothing, here you aren't giving me much information to comment as you haven't actually said what is the 'acceptable attire for 2008'? In your last point, the mention of Z. Efron and R. Paterson is interesting as these are very young men. Why is GQ encouraging men to imitate teen boys/men in their 20s? Emphasis on being young and hip? Why? Secondary sources are needed to explain this emphasis on youth, little facial hair and possibly casual clothing. Is Esquire trying to turn back time and make men young again?
