Masculinity

One example of masculinity is the character of Jake Perry in the movie Sweet Home Alabama. His character is a stereotypical male . He is very rugged, outdoors, drives a truck, southern gentlemen, and shows a love for a hobby of mechanics such as working on a plane he owns or his car.Also owning a dog furthering the male stereotype, dog as a mans best friend. In all, a very typical southern male figure.

Another example of masculinity is the male cast on the show Jersey Shore. The male cast here embodies typical male standards such as working out. But, on the other hand, there are many attributes of these men that are not always typical on the standard "manly"persona. For example these men are very into their appearance and display a love for cooking. This is something that you do not find in all men because these may be more standard habits of a women , stereotypically.
