She discusses how boys learned their place in the hierarchy; men's sexuality, including extramarital affairs and same-sex relationships; how work contributed to men's identity, dignity, and interactions; the role of control over the home in male identity, the time they spent outside of the home, and their contact with the natural world; how they constructed their manhood and gender identity; and how the masculinity of the colonial period was the basis for what would later be associated with the Mexican macho.
