The "manly men" concept is also utter nonsense, too. Plenty of men who would traditionally be considered "less manly" have very high emotional resilience and self-esteem, plenty of men who spend their lives "manning up" and hiding behind a gruff exterior are emotionally volatile and covering up awful mental health. Certainly, I know for a fact that MANY of the older generation of men (75+), having spent their entire lives being "strong and manly", end up suffering from crippling anxiety in old age when the dam breaks and it all starts pouring out.
We're not in cave-men times, even wars are fought with tech and information not by "the toughest fellars", intelligence, emotional resilience and robust self-esteem are what "strong people" need in the 21st century, not bruised knuckles and a gruff exterior. |
Absolutely. What does Ben Shapiro want to do, send him down the mines to toughen him up? Maybe he should just worry about himself and his anger issues
