10/15/2014 Journal Question

Find a video that shows similar issues as yesterday's videos but from the male perspective.  If you can't find any state so and state why there aren't any.

Not that I was surprised by this, but there were no ads campaigning male empowerment. I think this is because we have a notion that males are already dominant, and that we as a society don't need to build their self esteem. To some extent I think this is true because throughout history, males have been the dominant power figures, however, I do think that there are issues plaguing the confidence of teenage males, just like their are for girls. For example, I know that boys feel pressured to be good at sports or act tough in front of girls. In this way, there are double standards for both genders.
