Dear Dirty America

Adam Michael Luebke writes about society’s notion of ‘a real man’:

I hear a lot of talk about ‘being a man’ and ‘manliness’ and ‘what makes a man’, and let me tell you, I’m disconcerted about the entire ‘discussion’ that seems to be going on out there. Society has men and manliness all wrong.

A man isn’t someone who drives a fast car, or who pinches tight female butts in the darkness of dance clubs. A man doesn’t think war and destruction is cool….

A real man sits while urinating so as to not make a mess.
