Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Worse yet, this is just a way to try to hierarchically categorize yourself as being simultaneously:

  1. part of an in-group,
  2. better than others
  3. a paragon of your sex

It's just so pitifully shallow. Like, if you're going to stroke your own ego, at least do it with something unique to yourself. Define yourself by the people, experiences and things with which you surround yourself. Define yourself by the things you do. Literally anything that would make you more than a penis with wrapping paper and a voice-recorded greeting card saying how awesome the penis is.

Truly the manosphere made manifest.
