My own feelings about masks? Well, Rosacea has been unkind to my already-hideous mug, so even before the virus hit, I longed to wear a bandana as a face covering -- partly as an act of mercy toward my fellow citizens, and partly because I always thought that The Shadow looked cool. When the pandemic is over, society should still tolerate those of us who choose to imitate the sartorial stylings of Lamont Cranston, a.k.a. Kent Allard.
(Perhaps I should explain to younger readers that the Shadow has more than one secret identity. The same can also be said of the Marvel character Moon Knight, who isn't very well-known right now, although that situation will change when he finally gets a movie of his own. The same can also be said of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Can anyone out there name his third identity?)
And now, I shall turn the show over to D-Jay. He, too, knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

How many of these assertions can be applied to God, and I don't have a favorite God. Pick the religion or the worshiped diety you like. Isn't God of most religions an embodiment of an authoritarian MAN? Is it a wonder that most Christians and other people of faith voted for Trump and still willing to keep him in power?
And haven't MEN used religion to oppress women and children?
Shouldn't the question be "who is a nobel human",rather than what is manly ?
When the Bat-Dude needs to go underground in the criminal community, he masquerades as "Matches" Malone.
