Starter 9/30: Homework Check!
The Mask You Live InAbout the filmThe Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity.
Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men. Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.

Read and annotate: Gender specific article from Queen Bees and WannabesOver the next two weeks, we'll be looking at the cycle of socialization and how it applies to gender! In other words, we will be spending time looking at how gender is socialized for both boys and girls, and later we'll look at transgender identity as well.
For now, please read AND annotate this article: "Boy World" from the book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Weisman. You'll need to have it finished by the FRIDAY, start of class to stay on track for next week's seminar. Starting on Friday, we'll read the one on girls. You'll have a choice between whether you participate in the girls seminar or boys seminar next Tuesday. Warning: There is mention of a derogatory word for gay people in this article, and this article does articulate what the main stereotypical boy groups and boy characters are in high school. You'll need to determine if the author is "getting gender right" when it comes to the high school experience. Learning Goals
