In both books they are take two ideas about how a man is made. Either he is born or made by society. And i have to agree with Judith Lorber that man are made from society rather then born because in how to build a man they say that if a boy is born .06 of an inch he is not consider a man so they turn him into a girl. That is why I say society makes a man because from the moment we are born a boy or girl is told how to act what to wear and what to think and from there they place in feminine or masculine group. Here in America we only have two genders so in order to fit in a guy or girl must confined into one or the other gender or they will fell like an out cast. Society get to tell people how one group is different from the other and that man can't do what woman do and woman can't do what man do.This makes it hard for women when they wanna do something like become a fire fighter or an NFL player, and the same goes for men when they wanna be a nurse or a babysitter.

  1. Which two books are you referring to? While it is true that men must conform to masculine gender standards, what are the consequences of them not conforming?
