10 Reasons You Need To Start Watching Outlander
3. Jamie Fraser Is The King Of Men
Jamie has been dubbed as such by fans of Outlander. The show plays with masculinity in the best ways. They bring up difficult conversations about gender relations of the time, and Claire establishes fairly early on that she will not allow him to treat her as an object.
Jamie is quite progressive for his time, this is due to losing his father at a young age and being raised by his mother. He knows the strength and intelligence of the women that surround him.
He's humble, intelligent, witty, and tender. At the same time, he is also physically intimidating, can have a mean temper, and is stubborn as a mule. The show allows him to express all of his emotions in the natural way that he would feel them. We watch Jamie break down and cry more times in this series than any other period show before it. As our male protagonist, this makes him a much more dynamic character as well as a great role model for men in our real world.
