Instead of growing a beard because you can't bother to shave it every morning, because you wake up at 4:30 to work, you grow a beard because of some psychological yearning for a masculinity. The brand ceases to take input in from reality. Masculinity for generations was about productivity: what you create - money, crops, tools, etc.
The man is the member of the family who tries to bring in more resources than his family can spend, and the wife is the one who allots those resources to feed the young. He is the mitochondria of that cell (ironically, your mitochondrial DNA comes from your mother). They weren't consciously deciding to be men, except when they were tired and broken, and had to remind themselves of their duty. Then they might say to themselves, "I must be a man today for my kids and wife". But now, without these purposes of provision and protection, men are turning to weird, flashy ways of demonstrating their masculinity. The street negro carrying a pistol, the hipster who works his muscles in a gym and grows a beard, the redneck with a fat gut and 15 assault rifles in his basement, etc. Masculinity is a behavior. One behaves like a man, one does not just look or have the trappings of one (guns, muscles, beards).
Men are becoming fags and women are becoming weak men, because they don't have a purpose outside of some large institution they belong to (political, economic, etc.). The fundamental constituent of society - the cell that gives rise to the tissues of the organs of the social organism - is breaking apart, and without that arrangement of resource provision and resource allotment, raising of the young has to be done institutionally. And institutions create psychopaths and bureaucrats, not men and women.
