it is a little strange to read an argument on the order of "words have no power" on a messageboard.
just saying.

and i dont think the argument works if you push at it seriously. chaos ensues. maybe it will here too, who knows?

this even though i understand the point you are trying to make.

but there is a context which seems operative in this thread:
it is what is being defended
a specific mythological construction of the manly man.
and what is being performed is the collective inability to relativize that construct.
