The "glass escalator effect" works as a helping factor in mens' careers.They get promoted to higher or more masculine considered positions or jobs. This is mostly due to the problems that they face in female oriented professions which they choose. One of the reasons for both the pressure and the promotion is the stereotypes: that the men are better or deserve administrative or commanding position in the society and shouldn't do feminine jobs or work.  

 Williams, L. Christine.  “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female”  Professions.  Men’s lives.5th ed. S. Kimmel    and Michael A. Messner, Ed. New York: Allyn

& Bacon, 2001. 211-224. Print.   

The article discusses the men's feelings and the problems they face in the jobs those are considered feminine. It also point out how these men are encouraged to get promoted to get better job. These men also have to face criticism of people due to these jobs.

The article can be trusted as a source because it has research in it. The author has referred to other researches and articles done by other researchers which makes it more reliable.

In the article Williams discusses the men who occupy the feminine jobs and their  consequences that they face. She also mentioned "The Glass Escalator" which can be defined as a force or factor that help these men in advancement of their jobs and life. Which is provided by their male bosses or colleagues. The reason of this help is stereotypes: the men have to be in command and deserve better position than the women in society. Like Williams states that "many of the men perceived their token status as males in predominantly female occupations as an advantage in hiring and promotions"(213). This also shows  men's mental superiority as they consider women  weak and are sure of their success over women's. Men are helped invisibly to achieve the better job. The people who help these men don' make it look obvious that they are helping these men. One reason of this is the networking among and desire to help same gender.

The concept of machismo is basically that the feelings of personality lackness are compensated by the feelings of power. I would say, as it’s said commonly that when inferiority complex increases, it becomes superiority complex. So the men suffering from some kind of gap in the personality, becomes powerfully in one way or other. Although the reality is otherwise but they think that they have power over others. The same concept is applied on chicano men living in states, because the social circle in which they are brought up is male dominant and when they come here and see women not abiding by the rules of their society, they feel that they are loosing power over them and its not at all good for their masculinity. In order to compensate that feeling of defeat and complex, they turn into the person who does not have the power or is not the master of all but thinks he is. This most of the time affect not only their lives but their wives and kids too. As they demand full respect from not only woman or wife but from their children too, to satisfy their injured ego, so in return making the others related to them miserable and hurting them deeply and so the cycle goes on like this.

edited blog post #5 All Men Are Not Created Equal

In the reading “All Men are not created Equal” Espiritu has discussed

the problems that Asian men faced in America. The reason of these problems was more than the sex or gender. It was a very strong discrimination against ethnicity and race. They were not treated in a nice way from American men because they had different ethnic origin and were not rich like them. They were always hired to do feminine jobs to make them feel that they are not good enough to do masculine work and are inferior to them. Because women are considered to be inferior then men so assigning domestic to them works was to emphasize on them being inferior. Then their masculinity was challenged by giving the jobs to their wives instead of them. This was a big threat to their masculine power and authority because men always want to be in control and the sense of being needed by their family makes them confident and strong. But when they are not in power and in dominance they feel it as an insult to their masculinity and it results as conflicts in their lives.

who is the man?

I think both the men in Theroux's and Marable's readings are equally masculine. Because both discusses the problems they face which effect their masculinity. One talks about the standers that society has set for men which are not fair and the other one talks about the stereotype image which was imposed on them and is not always true.I think that they are dicssing  these topics because doing certain things have very strong and negative impact on one's reputation and image like in this situation.
