...boys prep school. And this stereotyping, that is frequently exacerbated at single-sex schools, can oftentimes affect a student’s college career. Alexander M. Fuller ’10, who attended Belmont Hill School, an all-boys private school in Belmont, Mass., notes that the typical male stereotype definitely had a presence on his high school campus. “You are required to play three sports, and [Belmont Hill] is absurdly dominant in athletics,” says Fuller, who ran cross-country, wrestled, and rowed. “Part of the school’s philosophy...
...subtext was that the two men had once been lovers. Heston called that preposterous, but homoeroticism was potent in many epics of the time (oh, those Greeks; oh, them Romans!). Anyway, both actors clearly show a bond teetering between eros and agape, before it explodes into a more traditional male rivalry: a chariot race, the NASCAR tour...
...decade - from Bruce Force through his next film, the Hellinger-produced police procedural The Naked City, and up to the Christ allegory He Who Must Die in 1957 - Dassin's world is a man's world, and he focuses on it admiringly, avidly.

U.S. News & World Report found that the admissions rate of men at the College of William and Mary, for example, was an average of 12 percentage points higher than that of women--because, as the admissions director memorably told the magazine, "even women who enroll ... expect to see men on campus...
...tendency overstretch his intellectual analysis of his subject. For example, Reeves says that Snoop Dogg’s obscenely misogynistic “Ain’t No Fun” “offers its acidic views towards women as a theme for merriment and building male camaraderie” when the song’s lyrics talk simply about running train. Moreover, his writing isn’t always straightforward and can at times be disorienting. Reeves sometimes wanders in and out of subject matter; a paragraph that starts off talking about Run-D.M.C. as the voice...
