tough guy?

So, I missed a post a couple weeks ago & this is it.
Are the more "manly" men more deviant? Or, are all men deviant? Or none at all? It seems as though men who aren't the typical muscular, strong guy are looked at as more deviant. The men who are "stay at home dads" opposed to the everyday "stay at home mom" To people are culture stay at home dads are deviant. Men are supposed to be the "bread winners" of the house hold & when most people hear about stay at home dads they are like "oh...." I think this is because of the look when have always sort of been assigned by the media. They are given the look of the hot, sexy, buff, violent, guy. Women are supposed to find that attractive, & when a man doesn't look like that it may seem deviant.

It is interesting how men are stereotyped. Many would say that only women are stereotyped, but in this day & age that is completely false. Sadly, everyone is given some stereotype & until the day stereotypes are gone, the less "manly" a man is the more they will be judged. Society is an unfair game.
