Blog 4 :Man Enough?

Michael Kimmel wrote in the article: “Institutions accomplish the creation of gender difference and the reproduction of gender order through several gendered processes.” In the article, he cited several specific examples in the article about gender order being regulated Impact. He mentioned in the article that the system of employees seems to be equal, but work is still greatly affected by gender. Similar to the secretary is usually done by women, because loyalty is required. These prejudices inadvertently assign work to specific genders can affect creativity and gender order. As we saw in “Enough People”, they are discussing what specific molds men should have. According to the distinction of gender, to simulate what a man should be and what kind of person he should be. This has a great sense of system and oppression for men themselves. Men will obey and do more than they expect, and they have reached the point where they are truly noticed.

Masculinity refers to the social roles, behaviors and means prescribed for men in any particular society and at any particular time. It therefore emphasizes gender, not physical gender, and the diversity of identities between different male groups. Kimmel mentioned the word masculinity in his summary. This does not show that masculinity is the trait that men need to reserve, but it only increases the diversity of identities. Masculinity is not a distinction between genders. A person cannot be determined by his or her gender, but a person’s behavior.
