Eine Theorie und ein paar Anekdoten über das "Man Child"

Manchen Dingen kann man sich nur anekdotisch nähern, zum Beispiel dem crypto-misogynen "Man Child", wie in diesem Klassiker geschehen. Ein paar der besten aus dem Artikel:

The Man-Child’s irony may be a part of a generational aversion to political risk: he would not call out a sexist or racist joke, for fear of sounding too earnest. Ironically, the Man-Child lives up to a stereotype about the men from the rom-coms he holds in contempt: he has a fear of commitment."
