Despite these possible explanations about whether rap and hip hop artists use homophobic language as an attack against white men, homosexuality or as a way to affirm their masculinity, it does not change the fact that the use of this homophobic language is wrong and not a viable solution.

most men and women have learned to behave in a gender-appropriate manner, which is socially acceptable in society. The ideal man must be strong, brave, and independent; however, a male craves as much or even more affection and love than a female, but if they show these desires, they are misjudged as soft or weak by other men and by women, too. Society’s idealistic view of a man differs from their biology, which shows a

forced-fed to boys from birth to adulthood. Historically the puriest example of a real man was the military standard. Military manliness dictates that a man must be strong, both physically and mentally, a man must be unfeeling and must be loyal to their fellow commrades. Military manhood favors the hetersexual man and believes that he should not gay or exhibit feminine behaviors if he is to be considered a real man. Above all else they must protect what is theirs, the bloodier the better. This idolized
that successful sculptures are those pieces that actually could imply the religion and show strength of men in both physically and mentally. In short, in both cultures; the human form is given a lot of importance. The Hellenistic Greeks thought that man was the measure of everything (Castelle, Coquinot & Bourgarit, 2016). It is the reason why most sculptures are made that treated as God as importance. In the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century, people also think the human form was beautiful, think
cosmetics and other things that weren’t completely related with man, now they are part of it. In the past, men didn’t use more than a soap and shampoo, nowadays men have unlimited products and brands that some of them are also specific for men. Why cosmetics are now considered masculine too? Because this companies used the power of the media to change how cosmetics were seen. Men nowadays care more about their aspects than before, a man who doesn’t use perfume or deodorant do not demonstrate masculinity
Barry’s “Guys vs. Men” is a satirical essay that explores the gender-based notions society has placed on the behaviours of individuals. Barry specifically focuses on males, and centers his essay on what characteristics a guy possesses as opposed to a man. He describes men who try to exhibit manly behavior as serious, and develop “stupid behavioural patterns” that produce violence. With a humourous tone, Barry argues that there is another way to look at males: “not as aggressive macho dominators; not

This can create complications in numerous ways. For example, a man may be unable to express his emotions in fear of it ruining his masculinity; this will create problems within a romantic relationship, which may lead him to use drugs or alcohol as an outlet or being abusing his partner in order to release the pain

Caring for others has for a long time been seen as something that just a woman does. Rather than a man because in this society they are taught to be macho, and not show that they have feelings, or that anything bothers them.

When discussing Oscar’s characteristics Yunior compared him to “that fat homo Oscar Wilde,” as a method of demeaning homosexuality (180). The rejection of homosexuals is a mechanism by which the Dominican males work to assert their heteronormative sexuality, reinforcing their masculine traits. Males actively ridicule homosexuality with contempt evident
describes men who have a lack of power, and seek other methods in order to achieve their so called “power” sense of “masculinity” (Klein p. 48). This description seems to fit Nassar quite well. Larry Nassar is approximately five foot six, wears glasses, and does not give off the most masculine of appearances (Info from picture).
