A husband in Outer Banks, North Carolina, described as a “blue collar” man, got internet famous after he gave a public service announcement to all women. Just before he went to work, he promised that men like him were going to fight the patriarchy and tear it down.
The viral clip was shared on TikTok by Brooke Rosell, the man’s wife. According to her, just before going to work, around 3:55 a.m., her husband, Jerry, asked her to record him delivering a message. The recipient? The “girls,” who are Brooke’s followers.
Despite his normal internet reservations, Jerry gave an eloquent PSA, saying, “Girls, this is a message that there are men out there who look and act like me that are going to fight the patriarchy and tear it down from the inside out.”
Jerry signed his message, calling himself Robin Hood, and celebrating his PSA with a “Hell yeah!” Brooke then recorded the time: it was 3:57 a.m., and the blue collar man left to work, all armed with a knapsack and a bag.
While eating leftover pizza, the North Carolina husband finally entered his truck and drove off, possibly thinking about the patriarchy he was about to blow to smithereens.
Viral Sensation, Reactions
In days, the clip garnered close to 35K likes and almost 2,000 comments. The vast majority of the users praised the man’s message, with many falling in love with Brooke’s husband.
“Manifesting a blue collar, leftist, feminist man for me in 2026,” one user commented. Another one wrote, “My husband is a master plumber and a master feminist.” A third one added, “I’ve been manifesting a ‘republican looking leftist husband’ for ages, and this feels like a sign. Tell him thank you for the reassurance that there’s one out there for me!“
Brooke, in a follow-up video, thanked all the support and messages she and Jerry had received following the viral TikTok. She said she was so excited that Jerry’s message was such a “healing thing” to many of her “girls,” and encouraged them to keep looking for the man of their dreams.
“I don’t know how to tell you where to find men that are good people,” Brooke said. “But I do know that they exist and that they’re worth holding out for.”
