Summary

I have decided to write my paper on the Real Men Don't essay. I chose this essay because I thought it has more substance and more to write about. I plan to respond to it by disagreeing with some of its content although the piece of literature does have some strong points. I also plan to highlight some points not mentioned in the article.

Summary:

Real Men Don't: Anti Male Bias in English by Eugene R. August is a strong opinion essay on how men in America have an unfair bias surrounding them. Most people are aware of the sexist language used against women but many people are either unaware or immune to sexist language used against men. August points out that the media has a huge influence on male bias. Furthermore, he goes on to point out and explain bias in young boys and works up to bias in adults. Finally, August suggest men can shape themselves into what society tells them they are, therefore why do we keep suggesting that they are the enemy.
