Indented Quote
Wayne Martino draws attention to the impact of masculinityin the literacy practices of boys by addressing why boysreject reading and English as a subject. Martino found that,
[…] boys were caught up in a gender bind in which they perceived the subject English as a feminized learning practice that conflicted
with their tenuous masculinity[…]Some boys tended to explain their lack of motivation for reading in terms of girls’ predisposition for this kind of literacy practice. Thus, on the basis of this study it would appear that the acquisition of literacy seems to be hindered by a set of cultural practices through which boys learn to establish their masculinity (230).
