I came across two interesting blog posts while doing my routine blog-hopping today. Both of which basically brushed on the topic of masculine culture among guys.

The first one, from Bulletproof Vest, talks about how our macho culture is a function of Filipino men being generally insecure.

Filipino men are insecure. They womanize incorrigibly to prove their vitality (and their moral weakness). They are contentious, prone to display, pretentious and arrogant only to prove that they are better over another man. In short, they are posers. They will cut, duck and weave through traffic to prove that they are faster and more wily. They will buy the biggest cars, the biggest guns and hire the biggest goons.

Another one from Jaypee Online, Things Guys Do, But Won’t Admit To, talks about, well, what guys do but won’t admit to doing.
