A real man, who has to use...
A: I think you're just afraid to party with a real man.
B: A real man, who has to use a gun...who has to dress up like that and keep people prisoner?
You're not a man.
A: I doubt it. Think the lady protests too much, or what?
It is a script from one movie and I was wondering why there is a comma between man and who?
Is it a non-defining relative pronoun and the who cluase is an addtional information?
Or it is a defining relative pronoun and the who cluase modifies man and the comma is a typo or anything else?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
