Tough Guise

If you like Jackson Katz the author of 'The Macho paradox' and one of my hero's, anti sexism advocate, anti violence advocate and social activist; then you may wish to watch his 1999 film 'tough guise' which can be located here at The Good Men Project.

The phrase “tough guise” implies that the tough guy act is just that: an act. In real life, toughness is not necessarily masculine, and masculinity is not necessarily tough, but if you ask American culture, it will tell you the two are the practically synonyms. The Marlboro Man. The Terminator. Rambo. Real men. Gandhi? You pussy.
