Document Summary

My answer to this question does not change after reading this chapter i know that generally, we obtain our understanding of sex/sexuality from religion, politics etc, and. This helps us view ourselves in a variety of ways (dst), rather than in a limited, rigid way. The most significant contribution is the discussion of working-class men wherein they use their status as working class/the stereotypes surrounding being working class as a method of renouncing responsibility for their actions/thoughts. Though these men may recognize themselves as real men they do not obtain legitimatized benefits from their status, forcing them to compensate for their lack of masculinity in other ways, such as hypermasculinity being abusive, sexual, brutish. It is interesting to make such a connection, as it demonstrates how issues previously considered personal are potentially connected to larger social problems. Second-face feminists examine heterosexuality as a normalized power arraignment which limits women and empowers men/their control over women.
