Blog Post #5: All Men Are Not Created Equal

I think the reason why Marable and Espiritu mention women throughout the readings is to show that women of different races are accepted in America than men of different races. Its like women of a different color can get further than a male can in America. Also, being that both Asian and Black men were gone from they're family the women took the role of being mothers and fathers. The women worked and came home and did there household chores and took over all the responsibility so the male had no significance because the women learned how to adapt to life without their husbands. That played a role in why Asian men would beat there wives and Black males find it hard to express there emotions to their women because even though it wasn't intentionally women played a role in striping both men of there masculinity.
