Objects Things and Hypermasculinity

A man walks into a hard wear store with is 13 year old son, he needs pluming parts. The man tells his son we are looking for a PVC 1/2 female and male adapter.

The son then ask his dad, why do they call it a female adapter and a male adapter? The day say, they just do that's why!

The son and dad then leave to go home to work on there project. The dad Just got a brand new BMW.













 



Before they get into the car a man walking past, Wow that car is bad ass. The dad responds back oh yeah she is very fast. She can really grip the roads even when I am riding her hard.

Now the son and dad are driving in the car. The son say, Dad everyone really loves this car. The dad say oh yes son, we come from a proud car owning lineage. He say your grandpa had the Jaguar



And yes before that your great grandpa he loved his 57 Atlantic


 

He also raced one of the fastest cars in the world at the time the old sunbeam






The son then asked his dad if he would get to drive a fast car. Oh yes son, don't you worry. By the time you get to be my age there will be cars that are going to be far sappier to the one I have now. Just imagine driving your own hover car. Can you imagine son, think about sitting in her touching her smooth interior of fine leather, you’re driving fast with her top down. You can fell how responsive she is at every turn. You are one with her. She knows everything you want and what you want is speed. You want drive her hard. You want to push and test her lim...Dad Dad!!! I get it say the son.


Now the son is 16 years old. He wants to make sure he is in the best shape he can be in for playing football. He walks into the supplement. He really want a good protein shake. The man working at the counter tells him that Synth-6 is one of the best out there.
The 16 year old say he really wants his body to have that hard lean look. This is at the point in which the person working at the front counter said If your really trying to make a difference in the way you look you need to take a pro-hormone, 

I have heard most of these things mentioned at one time or another when growing up and working at a body building supplement store. This could be a bit exaggerated for one to have all of these conversations to happen at one time, but I have heard such talk before. I find this interesting that in conversation how much objects can be sexualized into a feminism form. This can even happen when men are talking about one’s own body. When I worked at this body building store it was a common conversation that personal trainers would have with me. Relating the males physic in such a way that it needed verity in terms of how they thought of how women responded to a verity sexual intercourse positions. Of course this Idea that all women need different sexual position in order to achieve sexual satisfaction is in itself flawed. I think this mind set is interesting though none the less. When looking at the hyper masculine personality that would be part of the community, that would shop at a body building store why would wanting to relate ones male body to females sexual satisfaction.
