Alternate title: “A man child realizes that society imposes roles on people based on gender and throws an ill-advised tantrum about the roles assigned to him.”

A male human is pretty much solely judged on his ability to be strong and independent. Men crowing about their prowess in those skills is pretty much the basis of the human mating ritual for as long as we have existed.

In the past 100yrs we have been eroding the strictness of those roles and women are now also allowed to take pride in those characteristics.

I question whether anyone who does not believe that men being judged solely on their ability to be strong and independent is every bit as much an injustice as women being all but forbidden from being those things can truly call themselves a fighter of the patriarchy.
