Bob and Arlen were surveilled by the Chicago Red Squad in the 1960s, which was closely aligned with the FBI. The Red Squad's involvement in the death of Fred Hampton is just one example. Bob discovered he was being spied on while working at Playboy, and Arlen was closely monitored due to her involvement in a women's organization. The fact that feminists were feared and watched during that time is intriguing. Bob raises important questions about masculinity and what it means to be human in today's gender-fluid era. He believes that doing good makes someone truly masculine, regardless of their testosterone levels.
