    Gretel Ehrlich, author of About Men wrote, “If a rancher or cowboy has been thought of as a man’s man - laconic, hard-drinking, inscrutable - there’s almost no place in which the balancing between male and female, manliness and femininity, can be more natural.” The truth is that cowboys are nurtures and midwives that like to take care of people and animals from ranches. What people have interpreted as tenacious and vigorous has been camouflaging the tender and sweet side that cowboys. The tough look of a cowboy could make anyone that doesn’t know a cowboy see them as being gruff and not caring people.…

While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think of the anime fan community (as well as the gaming community, and the sad state of U.S. politics) and the "debates" that take place within it.

Much of this boils down to the idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either a "fanboy" or "elitist".…
