StrohI being associated with resembling the metaphor cows while also being the one to most likely to already know how to milk them.
I generally dislike when male protags with gentler, quieter personalities get bent into smth more aggressive and rude (and hetero-ly playboy-ish in a lot of cases) to be more “manly/boyish” and further appeal to a male audience that want to self-insert as them.
