(rock music) - [Narrator] You're a big strong man. (dull thud) - Hell yeah - [Narrator] You climb
mountains, you fight bears, (bear growls) you shave with a chainsaw. (chainsaw humming) So when you grab a drink, do you grab Pappy Jack's Frontier
Whiskey, or a cosmopolitan? - I grab my Pappy Jack's. - [Narrator] And why is that? - Because... - [Narrator] Because you're fearless. - Uhhh, I...I don't know. - [Narrator] (clears throat) What? - Now that I think about it,
I've never had a Cosmopolitan in my whole damn life. (laughs) I have no idea
what this tastes like. - [Narrator] Well, well doesn't matter because nothing compares
to the smooth taste of... - Oh my god. - [Narrator] What? What is it? - It's because I'm terrified. I'm so afraid of what people
might think if I order one of these that I just never have. (eerie music) I'm afraid of a Cosmopolitan. - [Narrator] No, no, no, no, no, nope. (rock music) You're fearless, you
don't need that pink shit. - You're right, (exhales)
I don't own anything pink. - [Narrator] Hell yeah! - No that's a bad thing,
am I afraid of a color? - [Narrator] No, no. - No, but I am afraid of the
appearance of femininity. I'm avoiding a whole section
of the light spectrum so in a way, I am afraid of a color. This is crazy. - [Narrator] It's not
crazy, you're not afraid, you just don't like it okay? - Why are you getting so emotional? - [Narrator] It's not, I'm not. Just you're pissin me off okay? - Anger is an emotion. - [Narrator] Fuck you! You're fearless. - Am I? The more I think about it, the more it feels like I'm afraid of anything even slightly feminine. Bags with one strap, owning
a fuel efficient car, getting excited about seeing a Pomeranian. Why am I afraid of these things? I'm in a psychological
prison of my own making. - [Narrator] No! No you're a backwoods, hard talkin, hair on your chest... - (laughs) Oh god yeah, the hair! You know I don't even trim my pubes? - [Narrator] Hey come on man,
don't talk to me about that. - Wait, wait, wait, this is important. Now, I have a massive bush. - [Narrator] You have to stop talking. - Makes my dick look like
a tiny worm drownin in fur. - [Narrator] I don't wanna hear about your dick man, come on. - It's very important to me that I feel like I have a big dick, - [Narrator] Okay stop, stop, stop. - but apparently not important enough to risk my masculinity with
a little personal grooming in a private place few
people will ever see! - [Narrator] Come on man! - (laughs) That is really
somethin! I'm all fucked up man! - [Narrator] Shut the hell up already! You're a big strong man
who hates pussy shit and loves Pappy Jack's. - Wait a minute, this is your fault. - [Narrator] What? No...shut up man. - My whole life, you've
been sellin me the idea that manly is good and feminine is bad. - [Narrator] Okay, okay, we've
gotta wrap this thing up. Sounds like maybe you suck and
no one should listen to you. Here's some trucks! - [Man] Wait, wait, wait,
don't cut away from me. - [Narrator] Wow! Get
a load of that girls! - [Man] This is important! - [Narrator] Splashin' through the mud. (laughs) it's a bunch of trucks. Pappy Jack's Frontier Whiskey,
because you're fearless. - I never told my dad I loved him. I love you Dad!
This is a short and humorous take on toxic masculinity. I thought some in the community might enjoy it.
It’s short, and illustrates the point quite well.
I don’t think it’s been executed as well as it could have been, but it makes a good point.
I want to bring up something I saw in the youtube comments, but don't want to have a discussion on youtube. Some people are saying because he realizes his fears and changes, he's now more masculine. I don't like this idea that growing and becoming stronger or more emotionally mature is masculine or real masculinity. Women can do that too. Does that make them more manly? All it means is someone is stronger or more mature. We have a weird way of gendering the human experience. You could probably replace the word masculine with another word that you mean like attractive. Then there is a problem with people not seeing strong, confident women as attractive.
