who only by moving can balance

It's specifically the zest which Gomez Addams has for being a man that I'm pointing out, the joie de vivre with which he approaches it that nonetheless doesn't partake in power-tripping or in too many innate beliefs about what being a man and a father and husband entails. The way Lavery puts it is that you can picture Gomez Addams getting out of bed in the morning and saying to himself, "Gosh, what a great day to be a man!" and it's completely in character and you don't want to throw things at him for it. Masculinity as enjoyable process/actions, rather than as burden, duty, or standard of proof.
