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.
