Real men do whatever they want
Unless it harms others.
*this started as I was thinking about abusive men being mostly a result of their fear of inadequacy. But then, I realized TikTok is harmful to everyone for multiple reasons. So now I'm on the other guy's side.
It seems pretty obvious that "real men do what they want" is pointing out toxic masculinity. IOW the whole "real men" with qualifiers is bullshit.
REAL MEN identify as MEN. But sometimes they also identify as SOMETHING ELSE but STILL consider themselves in the same BALLPARK AS MEN.

Real men pick a fictional character and base their entire personality of it.
Exactly. So no tiktok.
For you, sure. And for me. But maybe other men are into it.
Real men do what makes them and those around them happy. And real women, and everyone in between.
