One of the first questions posed by Brett is "What happened to real men?"

To answer this, he goes on to talk about the "three lame excuses for manliness": The Metrosexual, The Dumb Dad, and The Manboy.

He then claims that there are three reasons that these three types of men came about: Feminism, Absent Dads, and Consumerism.

McKay angers me...for the most part.

The one aspect of his presentation that did not upset me is when he said that "there are some things we should leave in the dustbin of history like sexism, homophobia, and racism".

Most of this clip, however, does annoy me, because he claims that there is a "real man" out there; to McKay, men are strong, individuals, and rugged.

There is apparently no room for emotions within McKay's "real men" world.
