The Box helps explain why so many men resort to violence when they think that their masculinity is threatened - it’s an easy way to demonstrate that they’re in the Box. And it also shows how delicate masculinity can be. If all it takes to hurt it is braiding someone’s hair, it has to be pretty fragile. Unfortunately, while masculinity is pretty delicate, the construct of Box is quite resilient.
