Facts.
Why all this thoughts that a man can become a true and real man … just by being “sensitive”, “woke”, all this non physical nonsense?
My theory — democratic ideals. “All can become real men, without the necessity of physical courage and physical exertion”.
For example, a fat guy, or even worse — a skinny fat guy in a Lamborghini, Tesla, Ferrari Bugatti etc — can they be a real man just by their car? No.
The modern day thought is that masculinity can be purchased — via masculine things, tools, possessions (watches, money, homes, cars etc).
Capitalism and consumerism for men — the promise of masculinity?
