Explain how sexual behaviour could be socialized in males. Do you think that males who commit sexual assault are "hypermasculine"? Why and where do men learn "hypermasculine" behaviour?

 Sexual behavior can and is socialized into male behavior constantly. Media has a huge impact on this and is mostly to blame. Men are taught and shown to behave very masculine and to have (or act like they have) a lot of sexual experience. I do think that in some cases sexual assaults are committed by 'hyper-masculine' males, but that is not always the case since there are different types of sexual assault offenders. Those males who sexually assault women for the enjoyment of power and for their sexual needs are likely hyper-masculine. 


There are many ways sexual behavior could be socialized in males. When you think of a typical male what comes to your head stereo typically  Big, strong, protective etc. Boys are taught to be "men" not "boys" because boys are considered week and not what " you're suppose to be." It is cool and normal for men to have a lot of women and male virginity is not the way to go. After going through these thoughts, statistics on males and females being sexual offenders doesn't surprise me when it says its mostly males.


Men learn "hyper-masculine" behavior from family, friends, and media. From music videos with men having five women draped over their arms to your father wanting you to take after himself boys are forced into the "manhood." A good majority of males in high school want to always be the toughest. If you show any signs of "feminine" behavior you are considered a "loser" and that's the nicest you'd be called. How do I know this? I see it around school each day walking from class to class. It could be a simple nudge on the shoulder from guy to guy or it can be bullies saying rude remarks to others. Society has created men to be so big and strong that obviously there comes consequences and unfortunately many get hurt because of it.
