Regret not bookmarking the actual video short, but when I first saw/heard it, I was just so dismayed and dismissive (for obvious reasons) that I just scrolled away ASAP, shaking my head while laughing. But it went pretty much along these lines...
Manly Man: What is the definition of "hyper-masculinity?"
Young & Clueless guy: Uhm-uh...
Manly Man: Exactly!
Manly Man: Name me one bad thing that has ever happened because of hyper-masculinity!
Young & Clueless Guy: I don't know.
Manly Man: That's right- because nothing bad has ever happened because of it!
Hmmm... Now, I got nothing against guys being masculine, mind ya- but.... "hyper-masculine?" Yeah, I can see that going nowhere but south, real, real quick; in fact, I don't have to imagine it- we're surrounded by it every day: endless WAR(S), road rage, domestic abuse, domestic terrorism, countless gun deaths, etc. We're drowning in the shit morning, noon and night- but uh-uh, those two (and the millions they actually represent) don't have a freakin' clue, they just-can't-see-it... Or, just don't want to- which, no doubt, is its number one problem which sets off everything else...
