Pascoe’s main argument about the “fag discourse” is that the practice of predominately straight males to call other people, objects, or events fag or gay isn’t simply a matter of homophobia or a negative outlook on gay men and that instead it is part of a larger societal issue that promotes and encourages any male to be undeniably masculine. She expands on this by exploring and discussing some of the many ways that this mindset harms all those within its reach at any and every level. As the term would imply, the use of fag or gay as a negative term hurts those that are in fact gay males. Despite the fact that the term has slightly deviated from its specific use to put gay individuals down and has become a generalized insult, it still has and for the indefinite future will maintain that connection to gay men.

In social media posts and other media platforms the brainwashing continues, men still see women as sexual objects that cannot have a brain and cannot have an opinion so when there is a somewhat intelligent comment made by a woman men are brainwashed to think she cannot and try to undermine her by silencing the comment. Men are still even taught today that women are to be subservient to them and that men are to know more than

in both Ancient Greece and modern society, the lives of men are perceived to be of higher importance due to their masculinity. Meeting societies views on masculinity helps men do as they please. Their masculinity is made to be a very important thing, so when men have a physique they think they will not be told anything because their looks give them an excuse. With an image, men begin to feel higher up because of their strength, they do incorrect actions and also cheat. In The Odyssey we can see this masculinity portrayed by none other than the archetypal hero, Odysseus.

It 's being portrayed that being a man equals violence, poorness, being from the hood, can not be a sucker or you 're going to be tested, have your game face all the time, showing no emotion, and when they pick up a microphone they are a totally different person than who they really are.

Consequently, the participation of women in these movements was actually going against the social provisions and men were unwilling to bend to that direction, thereby creating a controversy.

Due to rejecting a boy after he asked her to have sex with him, she is then seen as a “lez”. Shanker feels it is devastating that a girl can’t make her own decisions without automatically being labeled. Majority of the reason she is made fun of and is

I have realized my family’s social group has the wrong idea of sexuality. I know their view is sexist and is unfair to women, it hurts women emotionally, and it limits women; but I had never really thought about the one fact that our textbook states so clearly: “gender roles constrict boys more often than girls” (chapter 12). I know about the wage gap and the feminist movement and the search equality; but I had never thought about the unfair restrictions and expectation that come with being born male. Men are expected to be the strong provider because they are male. They are expected to protect their loved ones physically and financially.

In Jonathan Alter’s “Degrees of Discomfort” (published March 12,1990), he determines whether or not homophobia is equivalent to racism. That is one question that can be debated all day long by individuals. Some people believe that homophobia is equal to racism, while others believe that homophobia is worse than racism. Instead of arguing for one of these sides, Alter explores why homophobia was considered less serious than racism. Alter writes about both sides of the argument, while he keeps his thoughts neutral.
