Real man is a fiction or subjective at best

I often hear the term "Real men" being thrown around, particuarly by the MAGA/Trumpist types.


"Real men" is highly subjective and it seems everyone has their own verson of what a "real man". So from understand, a "real man" is supposedly this hyper masculine, kind of John Wayne type figure which seems very one dimentional and more like a fantasy figure than something that actually exists in reality. Kind of like the "Prince Charming" character that so many women swoon over the vision of, but then that fantasy comes crashing down when "their man" ends up drinking beer and watching football on the weekends, has to work during the weekday, and is not showering her with cheesy romantic poems and gifts 24/7".

America would be better off letting go of the fantasy/idealized verson of what people are supposed to be and start grounding themselves more into reality and how people actualy are. And there are no Prince Charmings or any all powerful cowboys that's going to be riding in to save the day.
