2. Sanders describes the "other sort of men" as some one who wouldn't "swear and break down like mules" because this men didn't work like the other men, they lived in military bases waiting to be call for duty, like wars transfers and they seemed like their work wasn't hard like the other men but they had something that the other men didn't, these men would spend their days practicing in a simulated war so they could be ready for the real action "I also felt certain that when the hour for killing arrived, they would kill. When the real shooting started, many of them would die. This was what soldiers were for, just as a hammer, was for driving nails." (paragraph 4)
3. Besides the "warriors and toilers" there was another kind of men , men that Sanders could never imagine becoming them "I could no more imagine growing up to become one of these cool, potent creatures than I could imagine becoming a prince." Sanders grew up as a low class boy and all this "cool jobs" were high class for the people who he read and watch on the television, these men were politicians, astronauts, generals, lawyers, philosophical doctors. Sanders believed that he already had a destiny and that was to follow his fathers steps and since he was never one of these men, he knew that he couldn't couldn't be like them.
4. Sander's father has a different job than all the men he knew "my father, who had escaped from a red-dirt farm to a tire factory, and from the assembly line to the front office" so this means that Sanders could have a different ending since every one followed their father's steps "they were bound to work as their fathers had worked, killing themselves or preparing to kill others." but since Sander's dad worked in an office he had a chance to work there too without enrolling on those hard jobs or the military and get train to kill some one or simply kill himself on those labor jobs that they offered.
5. When Sander went to college he met women who thought in a different way than him "and for the first time I met women who told me that men were guilty of having kept all the joys and privileges of the earth for themselves." He was confused by their thoughts could he would see the men at home and would ask himself what privileges they were talking about, if the men he know worked themselves to dead for their families to have a roof but then he realized that they were talking about the college men and he saw that their lives were completely different "here I met for the first time young men who had assumed from birth that they would lead lives of comfort and power, then he realized and understood that women have the better life "the only ones who ever seemed to enjoy a sense of ease and grace were the mothers and daughters." so he understood that women had more privileges than the men he knew.
6. Sander later realize that men and women have the same work to do just in different ways and they suffer the same or sometimes it would be worst for women. "I did not realize-- because such things were never spoken of how often women suffered from men's bullying." (paragraph 8) He also talks about how women were abandoned wives, single mother and how tired it could be to take care of a baby all day so these changed the way he saw women because he realized that they have the same amount of work to do just in different ways.
7. What Sanders and the college-educated women was that they wanted to be in control "The daughters of such men wanted to share in this power, this glory. So did I" (paragraph 11) but he knew that these women saw him as an enemy because of his sex and because he was destined to become like his father but he believed that he was more of an ally than an enemy to them but he knew they wouldn't believe him if he shared his thoughts with them.
