If we think back on it, Andy Griffith was considered just as much a man as John Wayne, wasn't he? Sheriff Andy Taylor may not have killed as many bad guys as Marshall Cogburn, but he was no less manly for it. (But Rooster Cogburn WAS cool, wasn't he? I mean the original one) Being a man meant self responsibility, standing up for what you believed in, and not feeling the need to apologize for it. Above all else, being a man meant being self sufficient.

I am personally VERY tired of the demasculinization of men in our society.
