My masculinity is not threatened by women who want to work in the entertainment field and earn lots of money. They compete in the marketplace. If they have sufficient skill levels in the field of UFC, more power to them. The Rousey-Holm headlined the fight card that included both men and women fights. It set all kinds of records in Melbourne. It was a roaring commercial success.

I haven’t disputed any of those points, nor have I speciously linked this spectacle to a question of masculinity. I have no doubt the “games” in the Colliseum were roaring commercial successes too. But I believe Rome was in its decadent phase at that point. And maybe there’s a parallel to our own culture ... or lack thereof.
