MASCULINITIES: Quick Write in response to Bordo's chapter

One of the three quotes from Susan Bordo’s “beauty (re)discovers the make body,” I interpret is (3). What I interpret in this quote is that men are only suppose to act out in the photo's, look sharp, show how a man is suppose to look, not care about fashion or anything else because if so then they will find him suspicous and is unmanly, sexually suspect”. And a women suppose to care only about the clothe and make up (fashion) because that is what women "supposly" care about when they go out, try to keep up with today's fashion or try and impress some guy's. It applies to my ad because the guy has a build up body to show how a guy has to have a body to be manly and show no sign's of being unmanly,act out how men suppose to act on certain situations.Like in my ad he has no shirt, in shorts, smiling and on the beach and is showing of the body on the beach as if thats what guy's are suppose to do when in the beach.

The Male privilege Checklist

 (2) " I can be confident that my co-worker's won't think I got my job because of my sex-even though that might be true "

Not all case's are like this, some job's hire you due to the skill's you acquire. Also don't worry about what your co-worker's say, you got the job the proper way and that should be your main attention. Also your co-worker's wont be in your business they will mind their work and not with your's.
