The Trial of Mr Smith and "real" men

23-Nov-09 14:10 | anonymous

I like this video and LOVE The Trial of Mr Smith on which it was based, I like the blunt articulation. I'm not sure about framing these things as what a "real man" would do. Some say that re-framing "real man" to be positive, respectful and non-violent is helpful, others would say that it maintains a false gender dichotomy - that the idea of "real man" and "real woman" is false, limiting and exclusionary. What do you think?
