[His heartiness with men, his appreciation of rough humor, his love of good drink and food and games, his car, his radio, everything that is his, that bears his emblem of the gaudy seed-bearer. He sizes women up at a glance, with sexual classifications, crude images flashing into his mind and determining the way he smiles at them.]
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 1. Stanley’s hypermasculinity and strongly sexual nature are highlighted in this description of him. The metaphor of him as the "gaudy seed-bearer" emphasizes his extreme virility and that he is a man who takes pleasure in exercising his manhood.
