I was young and dumb once too. I can see how the “alpha male” bullshit would resonate with young men. Especially young white men seeing the relative ease their fathers and grandfathers were able to navigate life. They never had to worry about the feelings of others. Now that equality is working its way through society, they might have seen these same role models have a hard time reckoning with that fact and left them frustrated.
While I don’t fully disrobe, the freedom of pulling one leg out of my pants is amazing. You can get a nice spread going for those times you need to bear down a bit.
