Male order


Actor Ethan Hawke has criticised US President George W. Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq and feels American men should re-think the concept of masculinity. Hawke said Bush's attempt to be a big man prompted him to go to war, reports say. He said, "I'm from Texas. I love cowboy hats and riding horses. No American idealises all that more than I do. But when I see George W. Bush walking around in his cowboy hat, I feel it's time for some new kind of masculine identity."

Hawke urged American men to re-evaluate their masculinity because he fears that the men who took the country to war are misguided. "Masculine identity has been ruling the world for a long time. You could make a case that it was needed at one time to keep people safe, build buildings, make roads and conquer nature. But that masculine thing has also led us to war. Men like to fight. But, because of globalisation, I think, in some fundamental way, 'Might makes right' is over."
