I've added in a few more sources that i found in the sociology abstracts, are these good? @Alfgarciamora:


Male bonding and society[edit]

Much of male bonding is associated with the fact the males want a male friend, someone they can talk about life with without of the judgement of masculinity within a patriarchal society.[1] Male bonding is very essential when it comes to the development of social skills among men. This study shows that male bonding is nothing more than men getting together to recapture their masculinity and power that comes with being a man in society. Usually you see more male bonding groups developing when masculinity is being threatened or in a decline. [2] Although threatened it is said that male bonding can rarely die off or be destroyed and by a chance it is, it can be restored through heterosexual marriage.[3]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttyrell3 (talkcontribs) 16:15, 1 November 2016 (UTC) Masculinity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttyrell3 (talkcontribs) 17:42, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Male bonding in culture[edit]

In the early Chinese culture, male bonding is seen among those in same class based on gender identity, social status and age. [4] In the Jewish religion, they are buildinng a intergenerational community amoug men. This is a place that men can get together and talk about things other than there family and work. Its a place were they can explore thereselves and share experiences with one another. [5]. In Tuscany in the 19th century every year around October shepherds come together in an all male group with their cattle and take it south of their mountain villages. These Italian men leave their children and wives for about 6 months a year to do this. It is said that male groups and bonding are very important for Italian men and their culture. From boar hunting clubs to gathering at a bar on a daily these men want free time with their compadres.[6]

Male bonding among sports[edit]

Male bonding is seen through sports such as football, baseball and basketball. Most recently male bonding has been tied to superbowl and sport game parties. [7] In football , men bond by watching the physical contact of other men a distance away playing on the field. Also during half time males bond by watching the dancers and sharing the experience of being aroused by these women together. Sports is the most common way to see male bonding, mostly because there is more of a majority of men that like watching and playing sports such as football, baseball and basketball than women.

Male bonding VS. Feminism[edit]

It has been seen that women and others have start to associate male bonding with gang rape and violence.[8] Some feminist feel as if male bonding is an attack on feminism from what they've seen and what they have associated with male bonding. Although many males disagree with this, they feel as if male bonding has nothing to do with feminism or women in general. They say it is about having a male friend to talk to about things you generally wouldn't talk about with your wife or women. Also related to the male bonding and sports section, Males also associate the reason they need male bonding is to have someone to watch and do sports with. Feminism In social terms, feminist believe that our society encourages male dominance over women through male bonding. Its believed that women take there part in positively influencing male bonding and completing the patriarical restoration through the act of marriage which is important for the continuation of patriarchy.[9]

Prof Garcia's Comments[edit]

Thank you for this, Takiyah, but I think that you really rushed this. You have done a poor job, unfortunately, of finding relevant sources. First, you have a piece about American literature - how does that relate to sociology? And then an article about Imperial China - how does that relate at all? I'm sorry, but you seem to have been looking at whatever you could find - and that is not sufficient for this project. You need to sit down and do some clear and conscientious research. Please visit Sarah Hammill so she can help you - if you do not do good work now, you will fall behind very quickly. Alfgarciamora (talk) 14:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Week 6: I think you have improved your article sources here, but you still have a bit more work to do to find useful sources. Maybe you can focus on male bonding in different environments? You can have a section on sports, for instance, and look up male bonding sociology articles in sports. Or you can look for male bonding in prisons, etc. Alfgarciamora (talk) 12:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ttyrell3: I am a bit confused with the move to the mainspace, Takiyah. Is everything okay? I see that you moved stuff, but there doesn't seem to be much research and citations behind it? Alfgarciamora (talk) 20:54, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Hello! When seeing the topic of male bonding on the articles page, I was not sure of the connection with sociology. When looking at your notes, there is a closer image of what that would be, but it could definitely be improved and clarified when writing the final Wikipedia page. I like how you are showing your thought process throughout the notes, but it seems to resemble a report as opposed to the encyclopedic style. It is just something to keep in mind when continuing on. Overall, your page is definitely one which is very interesting and can keep improving. I cannot wait to see the end result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvale086 (talkcontribs) 00:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
