Entry#8 Got Men?

After watching the past two films in class, I though it would be interesting to do my own research and find pictures of men being stereotyped by the media. Even though we watched a film about females as well, I found males to be more interesting. I think its probably because I never realized how alike they were to the females portrayed by the media. Even though female dehumanization is more common, it's interesting to see it the same on the other side.

1. I like this picture because instantly, it is telling men that if their muscles don't show unintentionally, they're not real men. I find it funny the expectation being set here. As if muscles are the definition of being a man.

2. Lately, I have seen a lot of very thick beards. I am a frequent user of social media and have seen some posts claiming that having a beard like this is manly! Also, why would someone being a carnivorous mammal make them manly? Are vegetables just not doing it? What I love about this picture though is the fact that bravery is manly, but ironically, so are bunny ears!

3. I am not sure why this picture makes me happy... Maybe because unlike a lot of the things on the media today, they encourage men to become something that maybe other "manly men" consider gay or not manly. Personally, I don't know what's more attractive than a helping, well-educated man! Thanks to whoever made this!
