Guy Gode: Rereading America

What is the Guy Code? According to Kimmel, the Guy Code is the collection of attitudes, values, and traits that together composes what is means to be a man. Pretty much, the Guy Code means that you never show your feelings, be strong, and never give up. All in all, dont be a sissy. You should never show emotions or admit to weakness. To the world, you must show that theres nothing to be concerned about and that everything is going to be fine. In my opinion, I would have to say that this is also my understanding of what is means to be a man.I think of them as not letting anyone step all everyplace them and that they think theyre always in control. They try to always win especially when theyre competing with theyre friends. An encounter that I have observed and experience that involve the gender police is in Junior High gym class. Guys would always criticize and judge other guys if they screwed up on anything while play a game. It always happened to be the more popular guys in my gr ade who would constantly watch the non-popular guys just to watch them mess up.They would do this just so they can sit there and call them a bunch of names for example wimp, dork, faggot, weak, etc. I always felt bad for them because I knew that it would stir them in the long run. This incident has had a lasting effect on me. I always feel bad for the guys who go out for sports who arent authentically good but go out anywase because the guys who are really good will just keep putting them down and calling them names. This makes guys more wedded to depression, suicidal behavior.
