Worst of all, society ridicules conventional masculinity and encourages men to act, talk, and become women.

As my friend Julian Bašić wrote, most men are leading lives of quiet desperation.

Heck! Most of us feel the jitters with even calling ourselves men — settling instead with weak terms like “Guy”, “Boy”, “Dude”, and “Bro”
