In this blog, I will share my views on the documentary The Mask You Live In. What is masculinity? People usually associate it with toughness, " manliness", strength, etc. This documentary show how men and young boy are view around the world, trying to fit in while they struggle to live up to the standards of masculinity.
How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)? This documentary makes me feel annoyed honestly and it makes me angry I don't understand why boy are though to be this way. I have a teenage brother and I watch the way the males in the family talk him it truly saddens me. How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? The documentary The Mask You Live In impacts me in a way thats emotional. After watching I just wanted to call my brother and tell him how proud I am of him and how much I love him. I felt the need to express this more after watching this because I feel like it's what a lot of males lacked in the documentary. There were many things like empathy, compassion, and unconditional love, I just don't get that people expect humans to just act one way according to gender. How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)? I change my interaction with my brother I'm more affectionate. I also listen and pay attention to his behaviors. Watching this documentary made me more aware of the pressures males go through on a daily bases.

"When you are feeling weak, do you feel more feminine, and vice versa?No when I have moments of feeling weak I feel human. We all have moments of weakness that has nothing to do with gender. "
