ORIGINAL: PeonForHer God yes. Not entirely relevant, but feck it: To me, it's like so many ideas of 'masculinity' are huge edifices, like tower blocks, built on swamps. Loads of ideas of fighting, guns, muscles, competition, suppressing feelings, suppressing all empathy in fact, all piled up on top of one another. The higher the edifice is built, the more likely it is to collapse. So, you eventually ... stress, heart failure and death, ordinarily. You have to clear that crap away, drain the swamp on which it's built, and a build a structure of just one idea: that you don't have to strive at being a man, because you already are one. To be a man only requires a cock. Being a gentleman requires a bit more.
