I'm a 24 year old man with a career in a committed relationship. I play Playstation 2 (Star Wars Battlefront, to be particular). I really love Batman and Superman. Sometimes I drive my car—a car that looks like a big toy—fast. I laugh about the stupidest things ever with friends. I say funny things to my guy friends that I wouldn't say to my mother or my daughter (just ask Crompsin). I descend to that level every now and again. It's fun.
There's no harm in being somewhat infantile from time to time. Why should someone be chastised for laughing at a fart or an open zipper? You can pretend that you're always an adult, but if that's true you might just be missing out on a lot of fun. Not every conversation is about establishing gender equality in Afghanistan and how the Taliban have been replaced by drug running warlords who still can't seem to understand that women are human beings, too. Not every conversation is about what we can do to eliminate the glass ceiling and how disgusting it is that women still earn like $0.75 to the dollar of what men make.
