Zinn's blog post

Zinn's reading talks about Chicano men's masculinity and how they are affected by society. In society, Chicano men are considered to be low class and tend to have less paying jobs such as construction . The environment in their jobs is hectic and their bosses treats them as lower than them and sometimes the Chicano men are yelled at or humiliated. When they come home from work they let their anger out on people lower than them such as their wifes or children. By doing this they feel more superior and masculine while the wife or the children gets all the torture.
