What Exactly Do We Owe Young Men? - by Charlotte Clymer

There’s a quote from Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club that I’ve always found interesting and may sum up the “crisis of American masculinity” in fewer than forty words better than anywhere else:

“We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”

An interesting take on a topic I’ve been genuinely interested to understand. I see it, I hear it, but I don’t get it.

That quote, though. Ooh boy.
