If you look at other cultures, European cultures for instance, there isn’t much of a need to define yourself as a man, and there’s a lot more latitude given to men for what they’re allowed to do. Where does our need to present ourselves as masculine come from in your opinion - our dads, TV, history? So to be trapped inside your own head all by yourself with all that’s going on for so many years was a pretty intense experience by the end. I know that doesn’t seem very old, but I was a person who was always very much in his own head. It was especially important because if anyone suspected you might be gay, you were almost guilty until proven innocent. I certainly felt them acutely throughout my life and personally rewired how I interacted with the world to make sure that all of my behavior was stripped bare of anything that would fall outside of them. Growing up in the Midwest 15 years ago, before being gay had hit the mainstream, adhering to masculine gender norms was very important. Is there an autobiographical element here? Anyone who’s ever been in the closet understands that it’s not a sustainable situation - eventually something’s gotta give. He’s kind of a ticking time-bomb we’re seeing this character who has repressed his feelings to such an extent that he’s on the verge of exploding since all of this repression has taken a significant toll on his psychological well-being.

Dartmouth offers a course called “ The Orlando Syllabus,” addressing the “emergence of mass violence, homophobia and masculine rage.” And, of course, the president-elect of the United States moves on women “like a bitch” and advocates grabbing them by the pussy. Fast-food commercials with the tagline “man up” depict X-Men’s Mystique morphing into a “real man” after tearing into a bacon cheeseburger.

The film’s main theme - toxic masculinity - is certainly all around us these days. He’s the main character of American Male, a short film directed by Michael Rohrbaugh and the winning submission to MTV’s Look Different competition, which vows “to erase the hidden racial, gender and anti-LGBT bias all around us.”

He lifts weights, crushes beers and awkwardly avoids eye contact with another fraternity brother with whom there’s apparent sexual tension. So goes the inner monologue of a closeted gay frat bro practicing his beer-pong shot at what could be any college in America.
