Another manly e-mail:

No, you don’t hear much or anything along those lines today. Certainly not in the media or in popular culture. Pop culture glorifies the metrosexual, self-involved, overly-sensitive guys who have “man-caves” and get “man-crushes” and such.
But, for those of us who try to live as the rock, it’s not for us to boast about doing our duty. We simply do it. To talk much about it would be glory-seeking, which is kinda the opposite of the point.
Maybe you should ask our wives instead.
