weird thing i noticed last night
at least through the 1980s i can identify songs abt men from the perspective of women where the man being "tough" is cited as a desirable trait
examples attached
but more recently this feels verboten or at least absent
whats going on here eh
hypotheses, non mutually exclusive
* violence among youth declining and trait less salient
* openly valuing masculine violence now perceived as feminine intersexual defection
* trait politically disfavored by ascendent political coalition
* xenoestrogens or smth idk
i had considered this song but excluded it as a result of a previous investigation
