Reading my post again, I can see that while I wasn’t wrong, I also wasn’t yet right. In this case, not just the truth but the whole truth is necessary and your comment completes it. Homme might not care about culture’s notions of masculinity but he doesn’t have to.
Which now makes me wonder: why do some guys who also embody the ideals of masculinity nonetheless act and behave as if their ‘man card’ were at risk of being revoked?
