Journal entry
I have been in a situation where I have perceived someone as
scary or a threat. This particular incident happened recently. I was late at
night probably a little after ten and I was walking my dog. I live in an
apartment so I had to let him out to go to the bathroom. We had headed toward
the gate of the complex and as my dog was sniffing around a car started coming
our way. Since it was inside the complex and I was next to the gate I didn’t
think anything of it. I was standing right next to where the cars exit and the
driver slowed down but then did not exit and drove past. The car then turned
around and drove back then did exit. I followed after while the gate was open
so we could walk in the neighborhood. I saw the car put his break lights on and
pull over not too far away. The gate closed behind me and a man got out of the
car. I had to go to the keypad to reopen the gate and he looked at me as I
looked at him. I got past the gate and he sat back in his car but stayed there.
I left, and I would do the exact same thing again.

Staple’s statement is accurate however a little over
exaggerate if he is saying men as a whole. I think guys do have male pride and
power to intimidate. For example, we have only had male presidents. I think by
this statement he is trying to say that because men are seen this way then no
matter what he does he will be seen as a threat and intimidates. This is defiantly
the norm for male upbringing. Men tend to be taller, stronger, run faster, and
do laborious things. I also think that having much more testosterone helps men
fill this role.
