They are revoking themselves because they are fragile. I have no issues doing, carrying, or drinking “girly” things and still feel like a man. It’s pathetic how fragile masculinity is for most American men.
Oh definitely. Masculinity in the US is largely about projecting the idea that it might be a bad idea for someone to fuck with you. You don’t want to be someone who can be freely bullied or victimized without repercussions. It’s part of why some men spend lots of money and time training to win street fights they’ll probably never get in to (apart from the physical fitness and health aspects, of course).
I don’t know if this applies everywhere, but masculinity in the USA is real tenuous, and may be revoked in an instant.

It’s a little bit like being in jail.
Its a capitalist mindset. Resources are scarce so I need to be prepared to fight for them / defend what I have.
