Pitt’s comments profoundly angered a few males. One male user wrote, “It’s so much easier to be a perpetual child than to have to grow up.”
It can be draining at times to be paid through the Hollyweird network to be an influencer instead of having to “work” to support friends and family as “men” do. However, that is the true nature of “real men” like Clint Eastwood.
“Stu,” another male commenter, was as indignant. “So, it’s tiring? Being male?” he inquired. Doing what males have been required to do for centuries? Indeed.
It wears you out. Risky. Not always appreciated. However, that’s what true men do. truth-believing men. Honor and dignity.
Being a guy has nothing to do with looking good for the camera. The precise opposite is true. Pansy.
In an interview in 2019, Brad Pitt stated that his movie Ad Astra was about “exploring the theme of toxic masculinity and its detrimental effects.”
In hindsight, Pitt stated, “that definition of masculinity was what James [Gray] and I were digging at.”
