Gender

From the video, “Terry Crews: Manhood, Feminism & the Mindset that Leads to Rape” you get a pretty good idea on Terry’s perspective on gender. Terry says,” We need to bust this bubble” meaning he wanted to let his fans know that his manhood isn't all macho. He isn't the strong, over protective man of the house like his movies and commercials (old spice) portray him to be. Terry labels himself as a feminist, so his opinion on gender would be that men and women are equal. “We’re talking about gender equality, true gender equality”. If Terry and Caitlin were at dinner and talking about gender, Terry would most likely say,” I can’t talk for women or even other men, but from what i’ve learned about myself is that i’m (men) are no better than women.. we’re equal”. “Everyone is necessary”. But in, “why you shouldn't have children” written by Caitlin Morgan her perspective on gender seems to be more traditional. Traditional in the way of women have children and “blow a four year minimum chunk” of their lives while “men can pretty much carry on as normal once they've had a baby”. Caitlin believes that a woman's world revolves around when she’s going to fulfill her domestic duty (have kids). “when people ask workingwomen, ”when are you going to have a baby?” what they're really asking is “when are you going to leave work?” “. I believe Terry would argue that men shouldn't have a choice on raising a baby. “I was calling men to step up and say “dude your kids need you” ”. After watching and reading these two assignments, I have found that they would agree that there are in fact some men that choose to take raising a child 50/50. That not all men stand up but they can give credit to those men that are there for their wife and kids.
