David Gilmore Noticed the following social roles that men were encouraged to play. If they were succesfull the men won status and respect from other males, and women were attracted to them, if they failed, they suffered scron and found it hard to get a sexual partner.
He split the roles into three:
Man the Impregnator: Ladies Man
Man the Provider: Family Man
Man the Protector: Protector of his family and friends
A man that fits all three catagories is Bruce Wayne from The DC Comics and Films.
Role as The Impregnator: Bruce has to keep up appearances when he is not being The Batman so cretes an alternate persona of being a ladies man and play boy millionaire.
Role as The Provider: Bruce provides Dick Grayson (The First Robin, and future Nightwing and Batman)with a home after his parents are murdered during there circus act on the trapeze and Bruce adopts him as his own son. Giving him a home and a future.
Role as The Protector: Bruce protects Dick when he becomes Robin as well as protecting the people of Gotham city from corruption and crime.
It's been fun...
