I love strong characters with flaws male or female in my fictional entertainment. In the past ten years I've been disgusted by the complete lack of "Real Men" as network TV trots out an endless parade of weak comical men who are always to be pitied or inspire dred. Thank God for HBO.
What's more upsetting is the environment that created the situation seems to have lept over into realty as well. What role models of manhood would you give to a young boy to follow these days? It leaks through.
It's become unsightly to be a "Man". When men are outlawed, males can only be 1 of two things, insecure boys and or malicious beasts.
