I think that we definitely socialize are boys to be more violent than girls, and while there is still a chance that it may be natural, we'll never know until we stop allowing it! I also think your choice of pictures really got your point across, Great Post!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832311030663263191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654044741160992250.post-12706293609559086932013-04-01T16:06:00.562-07:002013-04-01T16:06:00.562-07:00Great post, Linette!

And your point about feminism being helpful to both men and women is spot-on!<br /><br />Andrea, I like your comments. I agree: men who are depressed probably are less likely to seek help (because they don't want to be seen as "unmanly"). Similarly, men are less likely to go to the doctors to fix themselves. That's one of the reasons why married men often live longer than unmarried men. <br /><br />Up with feminism, down with patriarchy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295475654486951666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654044741160992250.post-73181988479735796832013-04-01T10:23:07.142-07:002013-04-01T10:23:07.142-07:00Excellent post, Linette.

I like your focus in the first couple of paragraphs about the ways in which men are "allowed" to express their feelings (or rather, the feelings their allowed to have). I think the photo that you chose to open this post with is perfect. To be masculine in this society is to be devoid of feelings, or the feelings that may make one appear weak. So while men are 'allowed' to be angry they are not 'allowed' to be sad or 'cry'. The suicide rate is really something...especially given the ways in which women are depicted as irrational and emotional. That's not to say that men ARE irrational and emotional and that's why they have higher rates of suicide (because that would be saying that suicide is an action taken up only by 'crazy' irrational/emotional people which is not true). I do think that the way in which our society constantly punishes men for feeling HUMAN emotions has a great deal to do with the rates of successful suicide. Men are often forced to keep their feelings to themselves. A man who is depressed is probably less likely to seek help for that depression because they fear it makes them look 'weak'. That is so sad, and so dangerous. This is why it's so ridiculous when people say that feminism is only about women, so many people just don't see the ways in which patriarchy hurts men, or at least they refuse to acknowledge patriarchy as the root cause. <br /><br />Again, great post, very good read :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654059946630759912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654044741160992250.post-5319066181591789772013-03-31T06:48:40.344-07:002013-03-31T06:48:40.344-07:00Great points.
