“the burden of manhood in general.”
Protecting the fort from attacking Injuns, having to stand up in public when you got a rock-hard boner, trying to figure out WTF she’s upset about now, always being in the mood when she’s not, kids asking a never-ending stream of questions when you just sat down to eat after working all day, vying for attention and hitting each other when you’re trying to drive, etc., etc. Wanting newer and better power tools...
And what about Native American men. They always have to attack forts...ahem...manned by white men. They never get to stop the messenger from reaching the cavalry, and always have to retreat at the end of the movie. They don’t even get any good lines, just war whoops. They’re...extras.
