Being obnoxious and pushy is not being macho. Chuck Schumer's high-pitched, whiny voice, and annoying smrik are all desperately metrosexual. A masculine man can be manly just standing still and glaring. And what's so masculine about Jim Webb, a novelist, for goodness sake. He's more like a pit bull than a man.
Jim Webb wrote a book with a passage about an adult male slipping a boy's genitals in his mouth. And it had nothing to do with a molestation subplot.
Not really a "manly" thing to do.
