This is Marcus.
He likes fast cars,
spaghetti
and Pixar movies make him cry.
Marcus wants to be a man.
but there's a problem.
He just doesn't know what being a man means.
In fact, no one does anymore.
It's a full-blown man crisis!
It never used to be like this.
We used to live in a 'Golden Age', where men were men
and women were... second-class citizens.
Actually, scrap that bit about it being a 'Golden Age'.
Then some bright women with big ideas
had to go and spoil the party,
demanding social change and gender equality for all.
and everyone who wasn't a complete *** agreed.
Marcus is also not a ***.
He's just confused.
Without a solid idea of what masculinity is,
he is doomed to wander through life
without ever really understanding what it takes to be a man.
Right?
Maybe not.
The truth is, Marcus now has the freedom to choose
the type of man he wants to become.
Being a man can mean whatever you want it to.
Masculinity manifests itself in many ways.
It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
So, have a think about the values that are important to you,
keep doing what you love to do,
and respect other people's points of view.
If you do all these things,
you'll be a man without a doubt.
