Who's The Man ?

Theroux piece The Male Myth and Marable The Black Male : Searching Beyond Stereotypes compare because they believe there is alot expected out of males. In both pieces they state that the male is taught to be unemotional and have insecurities and fear to be who they are because what they are told throughout life. Theroux believe that males are taught that they have to not show emotion in order to be manly. Marable believes that because of what the black male experienced through slavery watching there family be seperated and being beaten and castrated and strip of their masculinity that it made it hard for them to show emotion.
