When our performance changes to adapt to our environment, to give up our individuality and merge with the atmosphere. In Faludi's story it talks about how the young people who frequent the Citadel behave the same way and follow the traditions passed down by the older cadets. Faludi writes, “And anyway, after the first year men no longer shave their heads” (Faludi 75). When Faludi states that he is "not having his head shaved anymore" he implies that every freshman cadet must shave his head and in doing so is performing according to expectations. Men do not question what they are told to do, in doing so they give up their identity and blend in with everyone around them. The Citadel has no expectations of rebellion from these men, similar to how Bell does not talk about expectations from the men in his essay. Bell refers only to the expectations of women, not men. She writes, “They have more freedom than women a few generations ago would have imagined possible” (Bell 26). When Bell writes “more freedom,” she implies that even though women now have freedom, they still have slightly lower expectations than women of previous generations. However, he never states the limits of men. They have no expectations. Through both Bell and Faludi's works it is shown that where women are limited in many things, men simply conform to society by sacrificing their abilities.
