I agree, but at the same time I am frustrated that men aren't able to critique masculinity, even when they do it quite well, without being ignored as "cool manly man sacrifices himself to avoid bothering his loved ones".
Like it or not the people who need to hear these critiques the most want to hear them from men and see how masculinity is hurting the men themselves.
They want to hear them from men because they want to recharacterize a popular movie as a Manly Movie.
That's the reason they need to hear the critiques from women.
