  1. So, I think it wasn't an essay, but two movies I saw in class -- "The Bro Code" and "The Strength to Resist". I'll see if I can find a link to those. In the meantime, here is my student response to the movies that I wrote back in 2017.

    "The movie, “The Strength to Resist,” Dr. Gail Dines talks media’s impact on boys and men, and how “men are affected by society’s encoded messages of what it means to be a man” (Strength). However, in the movie, “The Bro Code,” Dr. Thomas Keith describes “Maxim model of manhood” (Bro Code). If a man doesn’t “measure up to Alpha Male, he will put you in your place,” (Bro Code). If one doesn’t measure up to “a tough guy badass” (Bro Code) hypermasculine model, then you’re were either feminized or a “a McLovin” (Bro Code) nerd-type.

    The #hypermasculine model puts pressure on boys and men to hide their feelings or be considered weak or feminized, and to act and look a certain way – with an emphasis of being buff and tough. But it is painfully obvious – especially after watching “The Strength to Resist” and the Ms. magazine article – that there is a lot of pressure on girls and women to look a certain way – with boys and men can be brainwashed into judging women by their looks and thinking of them as just “sex objects” (Bro Code).

    Gloria Steinem summed it up nicely when she described how that “even ‘real’ non-model women photographed for a woman’s magazine are usually made up, dressed in credited clothes, and retouched out of all reality” (Steinem, 181). Unrealistic expectations hurt everyone, and only by rejecting these standards can we be ourselves, and not media-constructed hyperboles."

    Media-constructed hyperbole describes #Hegseth perfectly!

  6. Why #PeteHegseth nomination is a milestone for the #rightwing Christian movement he follows

    by Liam Adams, January 13, 2025

    Key points:
    - Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who's President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Defense secretary, is a devotee to rightwing Christian movement led by controversial Idaho pastor #DougWilson.
    - The Wilson-led denomination, called the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, has grown significantly but hasn't previously gained influence within Trump's inner circle.
    - For this Wilson-led movement, Hegseth's nomination is a milestone for political clout and an especially promising potential appointment given its #hypermasculine and militaristic sensibilities.

  13. CW: genderish waffling

    I've been trying to square my love for cosmetics and fashion with my #hypermasculine presentation.

    And I realize I'm not actually #gendernonconforming , I'm trying to reassert ancient Germanic tribal norms. I paint my nails, I style and perfume my beard, and I wear bright clothes that show off my best assets. (I do not have assets.) I make myself pretty because manly men are pretty.

    But if it makes some femboy feel safer to feel pretty down the road, I'll take it.
