ts okay to be whatever you want to be. Even though the male body is now making more of a dramatic appearance in movies and magazines today, I feel that the stereotypical male will always be prominent. I dont feel that males are truly independent or confident enough to let go and feel as comfortable as females do. Even though females are more judgmental about our bodies, we are still not afraid to look in the mirror and see what is really there. We are not afraid to have a sleepover party and sleep in the bed or change in the same room. Males on the other hand feel that it would not be masculine sleep together or change, because they might made fun of or even worse, it might rub off on them. In the future I feel the social construction needs to be modified. Men need to be taught that it is okay to show emotion and that whatever their sexuality is doesnt matter. I think that men would be a lot more masculine if they could all come to terms with their feelings and be open and honest about themselves and their bodies. I think that males should be able to look the mirror at themselves and not feel gay or not masculine, just as a female can. I am not saying that males should change their whole personality or standards, I just feel that they should conform to society a little better than they do. Women are strong, but still loving. Men should learn from the environment around them. To be more masculine they should learn to cope with their sexuality, and not be afraid to cry. Masculinity does not mean without feeling, it means being strong and coming to terms with who you really are....
