Little Spoon

To all those men who still conform to the male gender stereotype, this parody song, written by comedy act Shelf, is for you...

What does it mean to be a man these days? Are you supposed to fulfil the hyper masculine ideals of physical strength, dominating behaviour, aggressive power play and sexual triumphalism? Or perhaps you have rejected all the worst hyper masculine traits, but maybe feel there are still some other less toxic ways you are expected to behave because of your male gender? Some people have rejected all those gender expectations given to them at birth. But there are still many others who seem happy to accept the roles that society has imposed on them.
