Clint Eastwood westerns are great. His dirty harry not so much. Yet both portrayed him as a bad a$$. Of course that's my opinion.

He was a draft dodger?

Biden, Trump, Ted Nugent, etc were draft dodgers. But at least Elvis stepped up.
Famous Veterans: Clint Eastwood
Nope, I rescind my statement. I was wrong. He served 4 years. I might be mixing him up with another tough guy personality.

Clint Eastwood, who served in the Army during the Korean War. He was sent to Ft. Ord in California for basic training in 1951, got a job as a swimming instructor and remained at Ft. Ord until discharged in 1953.
Well, that was the 70s, when things got a bit more cynical. Another Eastwood role was in High Plains Drifter, which I've seen described as an anti-Western.
I was thinking more in terms of the Lone Ranger. Or even The Rifleman.

Doesn't look that clear cut.

The good, the bad, and the ugly along with for a few dollars more (spaghetti westerns)
And then The Unforgiven are a few off my favorites.
The zombie apocalypse is how it was marketed pre-2016. I've got a few shirts reminiscent of that era. But my dad sells those, so I didn't go out of my way to buy them (nice gifts).

CONOP 8888 also known as Counter-Zombie Dominance is a U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Command CONOP document that describes a plan for defending against zombies.

I think I was thinking of Nugent. Not Eastwood
The military preps for all sorts of weird ****. We're an odd lot.

That references the High Time article. But there's more. Like he did get a legit school deferment.
Did Ted Nugent Dodge the Draft?
Inconsistent stories so he probably did do something, but it's hard telling an no proof either way after his school deferments expired.

The CDC, at least a few years ago, has a page on being prepared for a zombie apocalypse. (They do, however, state it's not a real thing but their advice is good general preparedness)
I remember that. My bro-in-law was big into both the walking dead and tac gear generally.
There's a lot of truth in this. The older I get, the more important I think it is for an old-school kinda guy like me to explicitly let younger men know it's fine to be different from those old stereotypes. Otherwise you get this weird generational play act going on.
(Cue my grandfather and father)
And now I'm going to pinch one of hubbies man sized tissues to dab my eyes as i weep for the death of masculinity.

The wiring within the male and female brain's differ. This results in different innate behavior. Males are more visual while females are more verbal. Female's still decorate themselves for male visual appeal, while males have to develop a line of bull for female verbal appeal. Sweet little lies are important to females; you look so nice or we will be together forever. Males like lingerie.
Education is more important to females, since this is conveyed primary through verbal and written means. Men are more hand's and learn by using their eyes and imagination. This difference can male males more rebellious against cultural teachings. Females will follow the rules while men will see flaws or opportunities beyond the verbal corral. The classic example of this difference, were the husband and wife being lost while driving. The wife will look for verbal directions from a stranger, while the husband will try to improvise base on visual cues.
If the goal is to understand natural male and natural female, the basic wiring differences need to be taken into account. They were designed to naturally complement each other; marriage. Marriage would cross program male and female, so the team becomes more than the sum of its parts.
The female brain is more wired side to side; ear to ear. The result is the female brain is better wired between the right and left hemispheres; logical and emotional at the same time. This balance of intellect and emotion is odd to men and men are not always sure how to deal with it.
Males are more wired from front to back; frontal lobe to visual cortex; eyes. However, their lateral wiring; side to side ,is less developed, so the two hemispheres in males are not as well balanced. This wiring and culture causes males to be more left brained, with their right brain less developed; more logic and less emotion. Men can become emotional, but this is more from the unconscious; compulsive. Females emotions are more under her control and it can be used to manipulate; logic behind the sentiment. However, females like male emotions, since it is more raw due to less control and wiring.

A possibility....
Being "manly" just happens.
Products cannot enable or enhance it.
If anything, buying them for that purpose
is self defeating....proof of failure.
