      I can’t even blame them. We’re social animals. The “lone wolf” and “independent thinker” trope just doesn’t work for many people. We learn better and faster by spending time in groups!

    I think this is a good primer for opening up to the idea of masculinity being more diverse than Gender Tropes. It’s a hook, but that’s all.

    It’s time we stop being so worried about becoming women and start focusing on the real threat to manhood: staying children.

    Never mind. This is just as harmful if you ask me. The tropes of a man child are both about social immaturity, which can be a threat to your enjoyment of life. But “man children” can also be defined by aesthetics like dressing comfy, spending time with your Mom, or enjoying nerdy hobbies. Which are all manly qualities. Get specific about it, if you’re gonna write a claim like this.
