Gelded Men and Insane Socialist Women by Takuan Seiyo
(One should definitely read Never Trust Anyone Who Hasn’t Been Punched in the Face by Scott Locklin as well.)
How much conflict, that is actual fighting or exertion of physical strength against an opponent, is necessary to develop a healthy and virtuous masculinity? Military service should be a necessary preparation for the full exercise of citizenship.
Men who have fought know how difficult it is to stand against the crowd and that civilization is fragile and important. A man who has experienced violence knows that, at its core, civilization is an agreement between men to behave well. That agreement can be broken at any moment; it’s part of manhood to be ready when it is. Men who have been in fights know about something that is rarely spoken of without snickering these days: honor. Men who have been in fights know that, on some level, words are just words: At some point, words must be backed up by deeds.
Sex differences and the division of roles, anyone?
