I don't agree with everything he says, but he's correct in that a lot of young men are conditioned to believe that there are only a few choices when it comes to being a man. This is part of the reason Robert Bly wrote "Iron John" because he was trying to address a very real issue when it comes to the crisis of masculinity. We've boxed or limited ourselves into believing that there are a few, 'correct' ways to be a man - and any seeming failure on that performance deems one as not being a 'real man,' or worse, 'in the closet.' I think all the sperging out at this thread's existence proves my point. I think the fact that I have an anon that refers to me as an "it" and creates an elaborate conspiracy theory that I'm somehow working with the jannies speak volumes. Again, I already made in invitation, so if you personally wanna dish it out with me, you're all free to join.
