This was a completely organic encounter between two strangers in Baltimore at around 9PM on Tuesday, February 26th, 2017. The camera man stopped a passerby and informed him that his friend was in the tank and it went from there.

I wrote a sociology paper on this event last semester which focused on masculine ideals in modern society. The man’s desire to be in the tank stems from an outmoded notion of emotional isolationism among Western men and the stranger felt compelled to oust him from his self-imposed confinement and welcome him into a future founded upon the feminine hegemony.
