Masculinity And Femininity
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Society has long upheld to belief that things must be categorized, separated and defined in order for them to fit snugly into the standard of preconceived notions. The aspects of masculinity and femininity are no different in this regard, inasmuch as they are inherently diverse by nature yet are also further divided by social dictates. One of the ways in which this occurs is through the "nature versus nurture" indicators that are preset in every individual, such as that of language and body type. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Maxim Magazine
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Catering almost exclusively to a male readership, Maxim – a publication that rivals the likes of Playboy and Penthouse – strives to attract its gendered audience by way of overt sexual appeal. The manner by which this particular magazine forms one into subjects is by appealing tempting men to look beyond the cover in order to find the more enticing display of female flesh; coupled with the decidedly masculine approach with such additional categories as sports, automotive and business, Maxim appeals to a vast array of its male target audience by way of sexist attitudes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

McElvaine/Eve's Seed
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page book review that examines a text that offers an alternative view of history. In the prologue to his text Eve's Seed: Biology, the Sexes and the Course of History (2001), historian Robert S. McElvaine states that "If the complex argument of the book had to be reduced to one sentence," it would be that "Hell hath no fury like a man devalued" (McElvaine 1). By this McElvaine means that the story of Adam and Eve was actually about the "fall of Man" but rather a metaphorical account of the rise of women, as he credits women with the invention of agriculture. Through this invention in the early pre-history of the race, women surpassed men and destroyed the significance of the male role as a hunter to the survival of the tribe. Furthermore, going to the heart of the biological difference between the sexes, McElvaine argues the male assertions of superiority can be traced to the "male inability to bear and nourish children" (McElvaine 3). Based on these propositions, McElvaine proceeds to offer a revisionist history that takes a decidedly different perspective from the traditional male-oriented view. No additional sources cited.

Measure For Measure/A Feminist View
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that discusses this Shakespearean work from a feminist perspective. Shakespeare's Elizabethan era was characterized by an "oppressive patriarchal culture," yet within this society, there are existed contradictions, "pressure point," so to speak, where there were "opportunities for resistance" (Findlay 7). This is the theoretical position taken by Alison Findlay in her text A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama (1999). Using Findlay's feminist position, it possible to interpret Shakespeare's manipulation of the trope of virginity in Measure For Measure as offering a feminist perspective. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
