Tough Guise

I had mix emotions about the movie today. I thought that the author brought up some good points but at the same time it really attack American cultural. It did not really leave with a positive out look on life. That could be because we did not end watching all the movie. Or maybe it was because the director wanted to leave you with the sense that this was the way are society worked.

I also really get annoyed when documentary have a lot of statistics in them. That is what this guy did. He read us form so many finding and did let us know where they were form or what kinds of samples where they. It made with question weather that information was valid. It was surprising to me just how high it was actually. I knew that the percentage of rape and Domestic violence were going to be higher for men that women. It was just shocking to actually see the numbers. Especially for other studies like road rage and alcohol related injuries.

It just caught me off guard the number of women who are going to get raped. I think it is difficult for me to believe that because I have not had a personally experience where I knew some one who was hurt or raped by a man. I look at my lifestyle and where I live I really don't have to worry about issues like that on a daily basis.

It makes it harder for me to believe how violent men are because I don't experience it to leave which the guy is arguing.

I did really like how it talk about the how the dominate group is never said. After thinking about that I see how true it is. If a man does something you never see there gender. It the same with race. I found his work on the that to be fascinating. I want to explore that more in a later blog and hopefully some of the writing talks about that so. Next time I want to connect more of literature pieces on masculinity to the movie.
