Male gatekeepers are victims of their own dangerously outmoded messaging: You’re never too old to be a hero and get the girl. Never too old to sip your martini and hop out of a plane, mow down scores juggling a disturbingly large gun, make and lose billions, save a helpless wife, daughter or lover.
