Let's Talk About Marriage

I'd much rather prefer if the message of this meme was that we should "pray for our fallen brother" because he has committed to an institution that was created to oppress women.

Unfortunately, that is not the case, which is clearly shown through the flat screen TV, PS4, and beer can. There's this ideology regarding masculinity (assuming that masculinity automatically means men) that views men as weaker than, or less of a man, when he decides to commit to one partner and proudly express his love (aka feelings). Marriage, in terms of masculinity, doesn't make a man stronger, but removes him from the very things that are seen as the most masculine, such as: hooking up with a bunch of women, playing video games and drinking beer all day, doing whatever the hell one wants, and hanging with the guys to participate in "locker room talk." Its kind of ironic that when a man gets engaged his buddies call him a "poor soul," when marriage was created for men to gain more control over women, a hallmark standard of stereotypical masculinity. So, what is it then? Does marriage make a man more masculine, or less masculine? More importantly, why are we constantly ranking masculinities?
