It wasn't that long ago that guys like John Wayne were held up in the US as a shining example of manliness: Strong, capable, doing what's morally right, and not being "bothered by little things."

Nowadays the political right is falling all over itself to sell this notion that pettiness is akin to manliness; the more bothered you are, the bigger a man it makes you.

It's hard to think of a better poster-(man)child for this ideological shift than this little snowflake.

EDIT: Bummed, but not entirely surprised, to find out John Wayne was a racist. I guess my point still stands, as it was more the characters he played than the man himself that people admired.
