http://www.mediaed.orgWhile the social construction of femininity has been widely examined, the dominant role of masculinity has until recently remained largely invisible. Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward college and high school students to systematically examine the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.In this innovative and wide-ranging analysis, Jackson Katz argues that widespread violence in American society, including the tragic school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and elsewhere, needs to be understood as part of an ongoing crisis in masculinity.This exciting new media literacy tool-- utilizing racially diverse subject matter and examples-- will enlighten and provoke students (both males and females) to evaluate their own participation in the culture of contemporary masculinity.

So what have they all come up with then? Honestly im intrigued. Last time i checked the world was still a crazy shithole. Oh sorry, do we have to wait for the reports of the 'Behavioural Scientists' on thier 'scientifically responsible experiments'(?) before we can pass comment? Stuff like " we deprived mice of food and they displayed aggresive behaviour" Fascinating stuff indeed.. Do your homework stylos, the right kind of homework though..

Hey unlocked, try unlocking your brain. "There are no answers here!!!" This defeatist dogma is a recipe for stagnation and the status quo. Sociology and psychology have moved FAR beyond Freud. Behavioral scientists conduct scientifically responsible experiments that have helped to reveal a great deal about the human experience, including socialized hypermasculinity and violence. Do your homework!

Read Freud. Or just general history please. This line is of reasoning is to scattered to be taken seriously. By the way im not 'a moron' just because i find this to be a waste of internet space. The concept of man's capacity for violence against his moral inclinations is something i think about everyday, THERE ARE NO ANSWERS HERE!!!

As the last comments show, you challenge current models of masculinity, and the fools of the world come out of the woodwork to demonstrate how stupid some immature little boys can be. Thankfully, there are also good men out there who don't need to behave like morons to feels secure about themselves.

Now hold on a sec! Being a martial artist means mastering a tradional, diciplined and phylosofical art. Not being a tough brute!

There is a natural contrast between the sexes. Many women also adopt the ultra femenine role. You cant change who you are sexually attracted to.Asking women to be sexually attracted to efeminate acting men is absurd. You are benefiting from being a man. If you were a woman, you would be just another femenist. You are like porno for feminists, justifing their anger with your "deep thinking",which is just their thinking, repeated in your masculine voice. Exploiting your gender.
