Document Summary

Men are conditioned to be as masculine as possible. Not good to be considered in any way feminine. Many men are abused (physically, sexually, emotionally) Men have a much greater chance of committing suicide. Interesting to see what goes on in the minds of murderers and people who have committed crimes. (man who shot person 6 times as the first time he stood up for himself) Men who are in position of power need to use this to their advantage and talk to young boys and change things (the trickle effect) Reject everything feminine, confused why culture is the way it is. What resonated with you the most in the film. Hegemonic: ruling or dominant in a political or social context. Patriarchal dividend (being born male) receiving benefits based on the fact that you were born male. The idea of a real man" in a given time and place. (this is getting more aggressive and angry and withdrawn over time)
