In this impassioned monologue, the speaker asserts that being a man is not only acceptable but necessary, emphasizing the indispensable role men play in building and maintaining modern infrastructure—from constructing skyscrapers to maintaining sewers and power lines. He highlights the extreme physical demands and risks men endure, often working themselves to death, and laments the profound lack of gratitude society shows toward these contributions, especially from those who benefit most. The piece serves as a call to recognize, respect, and support men’s mental health and societal value.

It's okay to be a man. It's not okay. It's necessary. What the hell are we going to do without men? You look around the city here, you see all these buildings go up. These men, they're doing impossible things. They're under the streets working on the sewers. They're up on the power lines in the storms and the rain. They're keeping this impossible infrastructure functioning. They work themselves to death, and often literally. The gratitude for that is sorely lacking, especially among the people who should be most grateful.
