Manblog. Part I

Luckily, whoever designed masculinity realized it wouldn't work without a safety valve. Men are allowed to be angry, which is conveniently siphoned off into sports, barfights and woman abuse, or is put to good use in war.

That anger is terrifying for its targets: women, children, other men. But it can't be understood as simply wrong or false. It has real roots. Think about the cliche of the angry old man in the cafe. He's everywhere: the guy with battered white sneakers, a cold coffee and half a sandwich, glaring at everyone.
