Explain your response. 3) Do you agree with Greer that “Masculinity is a system” (734, par. 12)? Is her claim still relevant today? Why or why not? 4) Finally, based on your own observations and experiences, how do people today (ranging from your family members and friends to government officials and internet trolls) treat those who deviate from gender norms?
