In chapter seven, Vincent attempts to discover and describe how gender affects one's self-being. She uses the example of the Grimm tale "Iron John" which describes a young man or boy's journey to claim his manhood and earn the right of becoming a man. Norah believes that the quest for a boy to earn and claim their manhood is the main part of a males life, and is what every male claims as who they are (their "self"). Claiming this manhood is the key to unlocking the "Man" status that every boy strives to earn.
