Masculinity: Who made that up?
Masculinity and Femininity have always been around. It is written in our genes that there are certain roles that are to be played by each sex. The power given to these two terms is what defines them and what defines the culture in which those definitions take effect. This leads to a mis-communication or overcompensation of the flawed power given to these terms to find there place in an ever changing global society. Faith in these flawed powers leads to inequality and general misunderstanding of the true roles each sex plays which results in a fundamental breakdown in the inevitable progression to an utopian society which all rule driven humans seek. I plan to illuminate these powers and the effects they have in certain societies and how they are constantly combating our want to progress. I will use Kimmel's "Bro's before Ho's" to magnify what he believes these flawed powers are and how he sees their effects being played out in society. The evidences provided will be abstract in the sense that it is not tangible to those who don't look for it or those who choose not to see it, yet it will show exactly how gender roles can and do hurt the human race. The bulk of my argument will be backed up mostly through the use of pathos to convey the realty of these powers and their effects on people on a global scale
Nice start here. This sounds interesting, but also quite vague for a proposal. I'd like you to try to flush out a bit more of the research that you will use and also make a specific claim that will work to center your argument. What do you want to prove? What reasons and evidence can you incorporate to support this claim. Try to move from this general description into more specific information to progress your ideas and prepare yourself for the drafting phase, which is coming up very soon!
