Theorist- Jackson Katz
To be masculine involves being- tough, respected, strong, independent
examples of representations-
Latino men- usually represented as boxers, criminals and tough guys
Asian- American men- usually represented as martial arts masters or dangerous criminals
He argues that violence is an accepted part of masculinity in films. He thinks males are influenced by what they see in the media and in films and believes that it leads to domestic violence and abuse in the real world. He says that the majority of violence and crime in society is committed by males.
