Description

The myth of the lonesome cowboy, backslapping jock, invincible soldier -- the ideal of the man's man -- has only recently been exposed as the dream of a universe reserved for males, in which the combat of fighting heroes resembles sexual struggle, and where comradeship is joined with an undercurrent of intimacy."
