Some are assholes. Others really are scared closet cases.

@slothrop No, they are scared. Traditional masculinity is inherently insecure and men must always be girding their manliness lest they lose face with the social group. Any feelings or behaviors we have that could be seen as feminine must be suppressed, attacked or shunned. This creates an atmosphere of fear wherein preemptively attacking other men for their nonmanly attributes allows us to hide our own.

But...But...When I read it, I read it in HIS VOICE! So he must have said it!
