MASCULINITY Derivative
 * The part "Herbivore Men" just based on a single source of information. Other parts, the information are from various different sources of information.
 * All the links work well
 * It barely mentions how masculinity affect men's mental health and how masculinity in men can hurt and affect women.
 * I think that the article also need to mentions the correlation between violence and masculinity, especially domestic violence
 * Overall, the article uses a neutral tone throughout the article, and includes many different information from different sources and the diversity of opinions. the sources do support the claims made in the article. The sources serve as quotes, example from experts.
 * Each fact is referent to a reliable source, for each example, a published study or published book. However, it would be better if the article can include the women's opinions about masculinity. When most of the sources and information are from men, it has already been biased.
 * The article mentions also the Histrory of masculinity, which is definitely a plus for the article. Most of the sources of information are from recent decade, which I think is reliable
 * I think it just touches the conversations about masculinity in the surface. There are still much more to touch about. In class, we have talked how the masculine norms can also negatively affect women. However, in this article, it just talks about how women practice masculinity are called "tomboy".
 * The talk board, has not that much conversation to improve the article as I expected, because it is a burning controversy these days, I hope to see a much more diversity and conversation in the talk board to broaden and deepen the argument about this sensitive topic.
