well ill have to the worst date was cool cause we got on insite on wat other think.
for me it was the assignment with the men and how they have it hard in ways. and when we had the class divided and we took sides
on males or females.
i would say that the assignment i didnt care for was the one that have to do with the male advertisemnet. i really dont no y i just didnt care for it.
i personally am not a big fan of this blogger thing i really didnt like it at first but after all it not that bad u get a bigger window of time to finish and hand in ur work. over all it was cool.
umm that whole thing with customizing the blog i would have liked to work on it just a bit more.

ENG 101-0800
Over the centuries we have seen how gender roles play a big part in our everyday life and especially in the work field, we normally wont expect a male for a receptionist nor as a hostess at a restaurant, society has simulated to this idea so well that whenever we do see a male in what we would call a “female” job we come up with what we assume to be three rational explanation to why they would be carrying on such a job title. It seems to be that we instantly draw the connection that they are only doing these types of jobs temporarily until they get on top of the work chain. If not we just assume that they are a failure and couldn’t cut it in school, and our last assumption would be that there is just something wrong with their sexual orientation so we conclude that they are just gay.
Jobs such as babysitting have been predominately a female thing to do so when we think about a male taking on the job of a babysitter we assume that they are sexual predators out to get our kids. We normally just blurt things out without really thinking about what we say, but what can really give us the peace of mind that our kids will be in perfect hands if they are being taken care of by a female versus a male babysitter. In an article I found call “male versus Female babysitters” provided by http://www.thelaboroflove.com, it talks about traditional image that society has and how studies show that both males and females are equally capable of harming our children. It also states that because of typical stereotypes will be nothing more than just stereotypes and there is much more that should be considered not just the babysitters sex.
In the reading “The Glass Escalator Hidden Advantages for Men in the Female Profession” by Christine L. Williams. She talks about the pro’s, con’s and struggles males indoor because of the types of professions they go for. The reading also points out how males get discriminated within their work area by the females in the same work field as them. Their job skills are not used and they just get assigned to do things because of their sex not their job title. This reading reflect when a male goes for a traditional females jobs such as teachers for pre- school, his co-workers which are manly females will always ask for his help when it comes to them needing a handy hand around the work area. Not that they can’t ask for help but if there were no males the probabilities of a female asking another female is not likely to happen, but once the male figure comes into the picture is as if everything changes and he’s the only one good enough for the job, but they sure won’t ask him for help when it comes to the decorating. And when they do consider males by their job titles which would be teachers they will most likely send the “bad” kids to him for discipline.
The idea of the male figure being paternal with children is general miss- constructed affecting males in pros suing the carriers that make them happy because of stereotypes that are tied with it. What we have to remember is that crime can be committed by both males and females so we can’t just draw conclusions that fall under the category of stereotypes because these are the types of ideas that hold people back from being all they can be.
With the way things have been coming along because of the economy many people have lost their jobs. In today’s day and age woman have accomplished to be seen as equal worthy adversaries to men, a lot has been fought for over the years by the women’s rights movement such as voting, equal job opportunities and so much more. If we as females have gotten this far by asking and fighting for male to treat us as there equals than why can’t we as females teat males interested in what has been a female dominated work area. We should be happy that there are males that are interested in expanding their window of opportunity.

Thesis: "war of the sexes in the work field". Do males face the same kind or types of struggles in the work field when they have jobs in the "female area?"
Point 1: when working in a "female" job are males assigned to do their job because of their job title or their sex/gender.
Point 2: when claiming the corporate ladder as a male is it viewed good or bad. is that the manly thing to do is it just cheating the system?
Point 3: what is the female outlook in the working world when a man has a "female" job. How do females really feel about men coming into the field?

When we think about the ideal kind of guy the physical part seems to never skip our minds, it’s as if we automatically connect being physically fit and being in shape a masculine thing for males to do but is being on the heavier side less masculine for a male. Well statistically speaking there are over 20 different kinds of male fitness magazines in the US, but in “Men’s Fitness” which is the magazine I pick for my research over all in the year 2010 I found a few issues that highlighted the essences of being physically fit and how otherwise is would just be lame.
In the issues for October 2010 just the cover read “Ripped & Stronger, 88 Ways to Lose Fat, Get Lean, Our Boxing Workout Will Change Your Body in 30Day.” When you go to the article and read it just down talks anything other than being “ripped” as bad. Any of the articles of which read from the cover were only about comparing body types and giving you tips on how to work on yourself to become more ideal to the idea that they are trying to project out as masculine, the selection of wording the use targeted the reader like ”Get Lean” or “Change”.
When you take a look at the issues for November 2010 in big bold black letters it reads “Burn Body Fat Fast” goes on by saying “Build A Hardcore NFL Body” and on the opposite side it reads “Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam, his rugged body-weight work out will get you ripped”. When I read the articles I move than convinced that there is no other way I could survive in the world if I were a male and was not ripped like Charlie Hunnam or like any of the NFL players that are in top physical shape.
Another eye catching issues I found was the new December issues 2010, it has an article on Mike also known as “The Situation” from Jersey Shore, the title is “How to drink and get abs like Mike”. In it he gives the 8 fit rules he live by a few of them where just basics but when I got to rule number seven which states, “Make working out your No.1 commitment, because it builds the confidence and discipline you need to succeed in every domain of your life.” In every one of the quotes I found a physically fit male is the more ideal kind of guy Men’s Fitness projects as the right kind of masculinity any guy what to become. And if there are and opposing view to that idea they target the reader by using key words that down talk any potential thought the reader might have as to why he is not fit and how that plays out in his life to the reason on why he is the way he is.
Over all the idea of what is the right type or kind of male to be just to seem masculine in obscene for the reason that by targeting in an isolated way human defects seem to be the only way to outcast the male reader to feed into the stereotypical persona of how the media targets the males of today’s day and age to be walking advertisements in the sense that they are brain washed and become highly uncomfterble with them self.
Thesis: being more physically fit makes you more masculine.

Well my all time worst date ever was, a blind date set up by one of my BF's . i had no idea what he looked like or even what he was like but since i was nice i went with it. we had set it up in a manner that we would meet up at 7pm in front of the park get to know each other for a bit over dinner and after go see a movie. well like i like to say i have things to do places to go and people to see time is money, he was late not 5min late not 10 min late but 35min late i would of left after 5min late but he had called me asking me to please bear with him so i did. when he finaly comes he looked like a joke from head to toe the way he was dressed said alot since i had already waited i went to dinner with him just to be nice. on our way to the spot he wanted to hold my bag, arm, and anything that would tell the world we were more then just getting to know each other. over dinner he questioned me about anything and everything before dinner was over he felt the need to look in my bag just because i had a bag .. thats when i almost killed him and told him word for word of how i feel and think about him. when i was half way into letting him no why we would never work out even if he were the last man on earth he stated that we could of worked out if he had only kissed me when he first saw me. i put a lid on it took my suff and walked away never. i walked away with an awesome feeling because i thought i would never see him again. but o boy was i wrong about 2 weeks after thats had happen we bumped into each other in a party i was being sweat away by someone i wanted to get to no a bit better when he spoted me walks up to me and Mr. Right and says " hey baby i missed you were have you been i been looking for you" my face droped and he toped it off by telling the hot guy that was talking to me "so who are you?" ... worst date ever

David Beckham
Because Style Ain’t Always About the Clothes
Sometimes it’s about carriage. Attitude. Swagger. Beckham’s simply got it—what soccer coaches call intangibles and we call style. The haircut and stubble help. So does the physique. He’s got it even when he’s thrown his shirt in the crowd and is wearing nothing more than a pair of shorts and his game face.
Robert Pattinson
The Best Head of Hair on the Planet
Young Rob’s probably got the best head of hair since James Dean, and he lets it fly. And the clothes? A pair of jeans, a T-shirt, an unbuttoned and untucked plaid shirt...That’s it. He dresses his age (23); he dresses to his strengths; he dresses so you don’t give a damn about how he’s dressed.
Tom Brady
The Power of the Rugged Look
“I don’t like it when I’m so clean-shaven; it just feels very...raw. I love that day-old or two-day-old beard. Gisele? Well, I think she likes the way the beard looks, but she doesn’t like the way it feels—it pokes her face.”

“Guido look”
http://www.stylelist.com/2010/09/16/jersey-shore-gq-october-2010/
When we normally think about advertisement and who they are mostly advertised too we would think women, whether be clothing, house hold or even children things truth be told even male things are advertised towards females, shockingly that is correct but over the past couple of years we have seen the many different changes that have been going on around us, like that sensational hit’s “Jersey Shore”, ”Tool Academy” and many other television shows of such context we’ve seen how the men that participate in these shows have different hair styles and styles but never the less they are all masculine. When we take a look at male magazines such as GQ we see how they have come up with a list of different types of hair styles that are considered masculine, it’s an elaborate piece that gives a description of various styles in which the reader can pick and choice from the one “he” would feel more familiar with it describes each style from head to toe and to finalize it give you the type of hair style that is more appropriate for the style.
It’s an unfamiliar term of events that’s has been happening, the reason why I use the term “unfamiliar” is because when articles such magnitude where published for men they were considered to be homosexual and now they are considered informational. Even from the way they are published to the way it’s worded it projects such strong masculine rough edges to it. Like quoting the descriptions of David Beckham it starts out by saying “Because Style Ain’t Always About the Clothes” and it goes on by saying “Sometimes it’s about carriage, attitude, swagger. Beckham” simply got it”. This introduction itself screams out clearly “the perfect description of what makes men” we can see how they are trying really hard to not lose that masculinity sound.
