Steps To Be A Man
I found this image while searching "what it means to be a man". This image was comical to me but then I was concerned because I can't be 100% certain that the person creating this was joking at all. There are some people, in today's world and from many years ago that truly believe things such as the actions on this list define being a man. To me this poster brings out the barbaric side of masculinity and being a man, the "I pick things up and put them down" type of manliness. We see more advertisements like this, joke or not and younger generations are being exposed to this even to this day instead of seeing advertisements about becoming more educated or successful. None of these five things listed require any sort of thinking, which is to say being a man requires no mind, just muscle and body hair.
