Kheyfet and Summary-Response

We are talking about gender roles as a thing that can be limiting. We talked about Masculinity and how it limits men (we talked about the Michael Chabon essay "Faking It"). I also showed you a video clip in which one man [Sir Lancelot} is super masculine, while the other man [Rupert] fails at being "masculine." Our response was laughter, which was the director's intent.

Please find your own comedic video clip in which a man fails at being manly and we are expected to laugh. Post the link to your video as a comment below. (Make sure it is in English and 3 minutes or less.)

Today we will discuss the Kheyfet text that you read for today. Kheyfet Discussion Questions

I will also introduce Project 1: The Summary-Response essay (see post below).
