The Tough Guise video is mainly geared towards analyzing the relationship between pop culture and social construction, especially on masculine characteristics of the twenty-first century. Moreover, the video I watched depicted how boys and men were influenced and called “real men” that specifically addressed one’s masculinity as defined and described by society (Katz, 2000). As such, men “show” certain parts of themselves, like strengths and characteristics, that dominate masculinity. Examples of these include being strong, tough, independent, and respected. Thus, this influences stereotypes of men, as they believe that masculinity within them should appear. Nevertheless, this ideology leads to discrimination by way of prejudice. Since they believe solid thoughts and feelings about themselves, they can be prejudiced against others (women), often leading to discrimination.
