The question was famously applied to women by Freud... but seriously guys, with all the fallout from the Tate situation focusing on lack of male role models, what DO YOU WANT?
Always enjoy your insights:) Mother was a fan(atic) of Ayn Rand, so I was raised surrounded by "rugged individualism"; she was pretty much a Bean "do-it-YOURSELF" Dad decades before that moniker came to be. Mostly men, but quite a few women see their Self as Main Character, when in actuality they are not even a villain is somebody else's story they are likely not even the antagonist; just a bully character interchangeable with so many other bully character clones. "Express your non-conformity by becoming just like me!" or face cancellation by not conforming to HIS specific form of non-conformity. Everybody else is menial and "unskilled-labor" (yes, am USian here), then you should be much more than qualified to pick your own foods and create your own suits then, Mister Minister or Congressman. They make it difficult to build any kind of community-structures and often devise measures against such things; "... divided we fall." Biggest problem with Othering is *everybody else* is Other to such "Main Character" types (Muskrat, Tattie). Job I'd worked at, Human Resources scolded me (2004-ish), "YOUR way isn't the only way, ya know." It's just a proposal I put forth, based on all available information, which will best benefit the team and the company. It's also based on S.O.P (Standard Operating Procedures). She then accused me of being "too military minded, using such terms in civilian workplace" (have served in US Army), and she suddenly found she had someplace else to be after I showed her in the Company Handbook *she had given me* where it gives examples of How-To in the section titled "Standard Operating Procedures". King or Emperor or Pharaoh do not matter, if that which they are supposed to govern falls from their neglect.
