i just want to be a man, like my dad was a man. hedidn’t think about being a man he was justa man. i’m kind of a “man”, with quotation marks. I think of myself as male, heterosexual, but in terms of manliness, i’m more of an ironic man. i blame the 70s free to be you and me spirit…
and the lack of emphasis on manliness, or the existence of ritual rites into manhood.
of course my dad didn’t think about his wallet, he just had a wallet. and a humidor, with stinky cheap cigars that he didn’t give a damn ifwe complained about. and dewars…he was a man.
