Who’s ‘da man?!

A friend recently recommended the film, World Trade Centre, starring Nicolas Cage. In particular he focused on the character of David Karnes as an example of courage and adventure etc.

I think there’s a distinction to be made between men who are inspiring and men who are good/great examples of manliness.

If they are held up as “examples” then Joe Average is never going to measure up because he’s never walked into a burning pile of rubble to rescue someone. Whereas if they are an “inspiration” their bravado can be used to motivate men.
