Year: 2009 Length: 6:70 (segment 1) and 1:30 (segment 2) Access: YouTube Summary: In the summer of 2009, the reality TV show The Bachelorette featured a fascinating discussion about "Man Code." Originally appearing in the men's magazine Maxim, Man Code is a "collection of rules that every man should live by." I use this clip in my Sociology of Gender class, asking student to use Connell's concept of hegemonic masculinity and Kimmel's concept of masculinity as homophobia to make sense of (1) what Man Code is, (2) how it is policed, and (3) who does the policing. The discussion of Man Code takes place in segment 1 (starts around min. 3:36) and segment 2 (runs until approx. min. 1:30) of this episode. Submitted By: Valerie Chepp

In yet another example of hegemonic masculinity, CNN recently suspended political analyst, Roland Martin, for sending homophobic tweets during the Super Bowl. Martin tweeted: "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him." Later, he tweeted that a New England Patriot wearing pink "needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass". The tweets are homophobic, but they also denote a hierarchical valuation of so-called masculine behaviors, and they even suggest the very real consequences for men who fail to properly enact these behaviors. While Martin may have been joking about "smacking the ish" out people or "whipping," them, the fact is that violence is a very real consequence for those who fail to adequately perform masculinity.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
