"Badass" of the Week

Badass of the Week is a site dedicated to telling some short stories or summaries of the lives of would could be considered very masculine people.  A good portion of the chosen "badasses" are male warriors or soldiers. While there are some stories of women, athletes and fictional characters, even they tend to be about violence.

The writing style of the author is very harsh.  The author uses a large amount of profanity to give the vibe of being tougher and grittier.  He also uses a plethora of terms associated with masculinity like "balls of steel."  While not having the time to read all of the stories, the ones I did read seemed to be about the portrayal of masculinity as something involving things like violence and independence.  The strongest feelings coming from the stories are things like pride and anger.

While a good bit of the "badasses" are what many would consider heros, posts like Megalodon, a giant shark, and the fictional weapon, "The BFG 9000," show that there is quite a fascination with power and killing.  The site servers as a good example of what can be considered as very masculine.
