It is strange to see a man doing a woman job,but when it comes to happen men have much more advantages in the promotion field.This reading arguments men "advantages" when it comes to the job campus.It talks about the "Glass Escalator Effect" easier for men for men to fit inside a woman profession.It also talks about how easy men can get promote into higher positions within women jobs and careers .
This reading is a is research paper which is based on a lot of hard work and interviews to many different kind of people passing through similar situations.Williams' uses a lot of reliable references that help him develop his topic.
I think that this article is well done and that Williams' statement after all his research are pretty accurate.In this day we are founding more and more men taking up on women professions.After he "conducted in-depth interviews with 76 men and 3 women in four occupations from 1985-1991"(william212).He well proved that even though we can not see it because it is invisible,there is a glass escalator for men within and without women careers.

blog post #7 "chicano men and masculinity"
Maxine B. Zinn states in "Chicano Men and Masculinity" that,"The social science literature views machismo as a compensation for feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness"(25).In this sentence Zinn refers to "Mexican and chicano" men and their masculinity. In my opinion i do not agree with this idea of machismo, which carries out the concept that subordinated men "are compensate for feelings of internalized inferiority by exaggerate masculinity"(zinn25).I believe that all human being are able to achieve progress no matter the situation that are passing through.If Chicano and mexican men are constantly humiliate and abuse,acting like a macho is not the best way for going along with situation.Carring out this idea is what makes this specific group of men fall more deep into the black whole that society had put them by using "machismo" as the first stereotypes,perhaps the strongest one surrounding Chicano and Mexican men.

block pos t#5Blog post # 5 All Men Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men in U.S. History.
In his reading All men are not created equal Espiritu talks about the interment camps in which were put the Asians during world war II. He talks about how the Asians men were obligated to do women labor in the u.s. Navy,such as cooking,cleaning and doing the laundry for the officials.But we can not compare the Asians situation to the slavery condition in which the African American were into, because they were more subordinated and humiliate and in other hand the Asian were more free,their family never were broke apart like the African Americans.Asians were never treated like beast,torture or castrate, in other words their lives were much more easy and both situation are incomparable.In black men this event caused black men to be slightly affective,they don't like to show their feelings to the fullest and in the other side the effect in Asian masculinity is that even today Asians men are looked at for being involve in women labors and there are many stereotypes towards them and most of them are suppose to be develop by women.

Who's tthe man?
In the "Male myth " by Theroux , we come across a man who has a view of what masculinity is.He present society opinion that being a man is just about being rude and jerks or demand respect.Thesameof this is established in "The black man: searching beyond stereotypes " by Marables, which compare to Theroux view that men are tough to be all the same, because it shows a kind of men that like things to be the way they want and demand respect to their superior position.Also a men which controls their emotions and feelings.Both man are equally masculine,because they follow the same rule in society, because if a man is different from the rest, is going to be look at something else but as a man.
