We all hear men used to go to war million of times and men used to fake their age in ww2 and now they can’t do the first move
If you agree with both propositions your actually brainwashed by the media
Here how media want you to think
a masculine man = a man that useful for the state ( family , home country ect..)
For example if your a solider : you prove your masculinity by dying for your country
But in reality you’re just a disposable pawn for state and corporate interests .
The same applies for drinking and smoking and it seem so cold to not care about your health but in reality your addicted to something you buy to nuke your health
But here how you benefit the government and companies by being a “masculine men “
Governments (especially the U.S) fund and supply equipment for Hollywood movies in exchange for script approval.
For example Top Gun (1986) was basically a Navy recruitment ad. Applications to the Navy spiked by more than 500% after release.
Smoking and drinking company even make more as Up until the late 90s, tobacco (smoking ) companies absolutely paid for product placement in those movies : Marlboro, Lucky Strike, Camel, Winston and more
but then in 1998 it was banned , the ban only stopped it from being a public contract, as movies like fight club and more are suspected to have a secret deal with some cig companies
And unlike smoking, drinking companies placement in movies never had ban or something , it’s for placement deal today
and studies shows that young men watching these sponsored movies are twice likely to have an smoking/drinking addiction than a normal person
the most masculine thing you can do is being free not getting easily brainwashed by some movies
