Real Men- Joe Jackson

A song from 1982 that still speaks to us, as we continue to do battle against the pointless rules and poisonous lies some people equate with "manhood".

It's about homophobia and misogyny, but also about self-oppression among men and the way this self-oppression causes too many of us to oppress others as well.

May the chains someday be broken.
