Response to Kit: "The Masculine Mystique"

I wish I had read this before I had made my previous post, however this will complete my requirements for the week, so what the hay. I was glad to read the thoughts of someone who felt the same as I did. I liked how she talked about her journalism days and how her teacher told her “interviews weren’t real writing” and she can now see why. I hadn’t even thought that perhaps some of my confusion did arise from how the writer would mention Stallone’s actions and such, but it did make for a very mottled composition. I also really agreed with her last few statements. “Overall, I liked the idea of this piece. It was thinking outside the box. It had an interesting message in relation to stereotypes, gender roles, and the male identity.” This is some of what I had wanted to speak to in my earlier post but I can never seem to get my ideas out in just the way I want. So I was glad to read that other people felt as I did after reading the piece.
