Tough Guise

 
 
From Watching Tough Guise-Violence, Media & the Crisis in Masculinity Ihave awaken to the social construction of masculine identities in our countryduring the past 20th century.

Also, there are clips shown of our popular feminist bashers: HowardStern, Andrew Dice Clay, and Rush Limbaugh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. I was happy to hear the positive developments even though thenegatives do a little out weighing. However when afemale commits a violent crime it is made more public and is looked upon asmore of a shocking crime.

As the film winds down Katz also points to developments in popularculture which present positive versions of masculinity. Violence in professional sportsand action games are all related to the male backfire against women's economicand social gains because they threaten traditional assumptions of malesupremacy.

Katz also singles out some violent male icons such as: Rocky, Rambo andTerminator. I found myself almost angry at times during this film because of the sadand absolute truth in it.
