In class we discussed how wrestling pushed Masculinity and had criteria that a man is defined by. Being brainwashed somewhat from the WWF era, I was a huge fan anticipating every cage match and sometime even looking forward to the girls wrestling. Besides that the point being wrestling though entertainment have a huge impact on millions of fans worldwide, in that I say the pushed “Manhood" tremendously. For example, some of the criteria were: Real men take responsibility for their actions, A man confronts his adversaries and problems. Capabilities that any human man or woman face every day. These were things that Soulliere found out after doing research on the WWE in addition to how men live today.
Can someone please tell me why the characteristics of a man seem like they are just not suitable for a “Woman?” Growing up in a single parent home you come to realize that a good parent will do all in their power to make sure their kids grow up knowing that a man and woman are only different in their physical appearance. My mother was able to hold down a house of 4 boys and 1 girl. Now with my mother facing obstacles and problems she faced raising us successfully is she to be established as a man. She is a woman in all aspects and I will defend her til “Death.” It is a shame that woman were not given their credit sooner. I think it’s funny that the people who waited to so long to give woman rights had to have been lonely. In the end, what defines a man can define a woman in this day and age. Men are men do to physical features and women to women do to their physical attributes. But a responsible human is what we all can be.

I like your example of single parent homes to back up your opinion. There are many intances where mothers have to be both mother and father to a child so I definetly agree with what you are saying. Sometimes women are forced to have male characteristics.
ReplyDeleteNice photo, and really nice insights about what it means to be a man or woman in today's society. I am glad that you appreciate what it took for your mother to do all that she did. It is interesting that you came to these conclusions from the article on wrestling.
