Men still have a privileged position. Yet the concept of a “crisis of masculinity” is increasingly permeating the media, with a loosening of roles and a growing uncertainty about what it means to be a man today. The director Jan Hušek also asks this question. He was still wetting himself by the age of thirteen, which earned him the unflattering nickname that is the film's title. In his open video diary, he captures the physical and spiritual transformation of his journey from boy to man. He returns to the woods and the roots of his childhood trauma. In doing so, he turns the camera on himself as well as on various teachers or his father. Perhaps the mark of adulthood, after all, is not overwrought masculinity, but the acceptance of his inner “pisspants”.
A fine distinctness of manhood come from the aftermath of a rape victim's life.
In this Canon+ Original Documentary, Michael Foster lays out a map to manhood through the depths of Clown World. Men don’t know how to be a man anymore. Some are comfortable being effeminate, but many are looking for guides like Jordan Peterson and Jocko Willink. They get angry because ‘I won’t be able to have what my father, what my grandfather had.’ That rage is not going to fix anything. Yeah, you had a bad deal, and these things aren’t all your fault, but you’re still responsible for your response to the time that God has put you in. It’s your job to stop being a victim even if you’ve been victimized.

Featuring many favorite content creators & some of the videos that impacted me the most in my journey. This Feature does not take a historical approach but is rather an expression of my experience discovering men going their own way content & the impact it had on my development. It is told from a personal individual perspective. I wanted to make this video to have closure on that chapter in my life & to leave a record of what was & what continues to evolve. The insights & shared experiences of men are more important now than ever. They certainly helped me."
