I am the Coquette, and I\u2019ve carved out this little corner in the hallowed halls of Playboy to spread around a thick layer of brutal truth on the current state of modern masculinity in the hopes that some of it sticks to the back of your eyeballs.<\/p>\n<p>This column is about your American manhood \u2014 whether you\u2019re comfortable with it, still looking for it, or don\u2019t know what to do with it \u2014 I\u2019m here to shoot you straight. There will be no bullshit. There will be no coddling. I\u2019m not your mother, I\u2019m not your girlfriend, and I\u2019m sure as hell not here to sell you anything. I\u2019m only here to give damned good advice, and maybe bust a few balls along the way.\u00a0[\u2026]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The real trick is that I won\u2019t be telling you how to be a man. Fuck that. I\u2019d much rather tell you\u00a0<em>why<\/em>\u00a0to be a man. The world is already full of authority figures and corporate interests trying to shape your definition of a \u201creal man.\u201d Almost all of them are full of shit, and I\u2019ll do what I can to help you spot their hidden agendas.<\/p>\n<p>If I do my job right, you\u2019ll come away with a deeper understanding of contemporary sexuality, gender politics, and perhaps even your own identity. You\u2019ll learn that sharpening your critical thinking skills is the secret to developing your own personal style, and you\u2019ll start to recognize what parts of our culture are toxic in your pursuit of manhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playboy.com\/playground\/view\/askplayboy-an-introduction-to-men\">The Coquette | Playboy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>kateoplis: \u201cWelcome to my latest experiment.
