The Mask You Live In


Peer presentation


Intercultural Communications


Summary


The Mask You Live In is a documentary film from 2015 from director Jennifer Siebel Newsom that takes a look at how our societies culture and view of masculinity is affecting boys and men today


We ask the question, is our definition of masculinity flawed?


Emotional Development


Boys and girls start out very similar emotionally. Masculinity is an aspect of the greater gender roles constructed by societal values and traditions. Unfortunately, traditional American gender roles stifle healthy emotional development in boys


Acknowledging emotions other than anger and defiance are effeminized and ridiculed in boys


Young boys are taught to hide and ignore emotions which leads to


Frustration


Anger


Misbehavior


Acting out


Violence


Bad grades


Reclusiveness


Male Role Models


Media and Sports


Strive for the following traits/characteristics


Money


Power


Prowess


Swagger


Dominant


Strong


Selfish


Divorce and single parent homes


No father/male figure at home


Abusive dating partners


Gangs


Drinking and Partying


Sex, sex, sex


Peer Pressure


Joe Ehrmann, coach and former NFL player, states in the movie “the great myth in America today is that sports builds character.. Sports does not build character unless a coach teaches it and models it” (Newsom, 2015)


Our culture portrays certain stereo types of what role models are for you boys and young men to look up to..


But in reality they are dealing with


Peer Pressure


Alpha male hierarchy


Bullying


Group shaming


Pecking order


Exclusiveness


Name calling


Sissy


Momma’s boy


Wuss


Little girl


Boys have to deal at a very early age, many as young as pre-school, with expectations of what it means to be a “man”


Cultural Influences (Nurture)


Boys are taught from early on that


Definite blue for boys vs pink for girls


Toys – army men, footballs


Clothing - camo


Guns for boys, dolls for girls


A Real Man


Athletic


Good looking


Quiet and strong


Womanizers


Women are seen as


Sexual Objects


Pornography


Tools of physical gratification


Things


Trophies


Boys tend to lean toward violent video games


Comparing nurture vs nature, the documentary explores the influences via examples of commercials for boys vs girls…


As a result of all this…


Biological Influences (Nature)


Dopamine rush from violence and nudity is addictive


Hormones are silent drivers of personality and behavior


Society encourages girls to acknowledge and talk about their emotions


Media examples of “real men” generally stay in the orange, red, and purple sections of this emotional spectrum graphic


Boys who exhibit emotions in the rest of the spectrum are viewed as weak, feminine, and are ridiculed

Another view of what masculinity means to men


The Mask You Live in has a runtime of 1 hour 37 minutes but the link below also references an article and short video from the HuffingtonPost.com on the topic


The article questions “in a world of both gender inequity and rapidly shifting gender roles, what does masculinity really mean?” (Genuske, Gray & Vagianos, 2015)


The article closes with saying “every man we spoke to agreed on is that having fewer limitations on what men and women “should” and “shouldn’t” do is a win for everyone” (Genuske, Gray & Vagianos, 2015)

Conclusion


The Mask You Live in takes time to point out the flaws in todays perception of masculinity but fails to deliver a message of how to change it


The film underscores the need for greater self-awareness and a more balanced approach to gender roles so boys and men are more likely to develop into well-adjusted members of society


This topic raises the importance of proper role models and the harmful influence of violent, dominant male stereotypes in media


Does the definition of masculinity in our culture deprive boys and men from exploring different aspects of their identities?
