JPP: If the mainstream media is to be believed (which, I think you know, it always is), the institution of American manhood is under assault from an array of unseen and nefarious forces. Though those forces don’t seem to have undertaken any great new campaigns of late, the counter maneuvers are in full swing, assuring us that the only way to reclaim a station that was once defined by participation in wars is to do things like wear khakis and eat cupcakes. Ironically, one of the only places that healthy male camaraderie seems to be alive and well is reality television, where shows like Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers show largely male-dominated worlds with a heartiness and affection that’s plain unheard of in our ridiculous culture.
