RE: 13 Things I Would Tell My Son About Being a Man
Many of these were gold. One that stuck out with me the most was #8
''A man does not see a woman or a minority or another group achieving excellence in his field as a threat. He views it as an incentive to do better. The world is only improved by mutual excellence, and undermining the accomplishment of others is a sin because it impedes that improvement.''
Instead of saying '' A man does not see anyone'' instead of '' A man does not see a women or a minority''. This is why I love this forum, it is one of the few places in the world were a bunch of men can get together and talk about their success and give advice on how they got that successful. Instead of the world we live in know where everyone is hoping u fail. It makes me incredibly happy that I can either give advice and watch a bunch of guys actually take it and put it to good use or I can post something asking for help and know that a bunch of guys will reply because they want to help. They want to see me succeed. That is an awesome thing.

RE: 13 Things I Would Tell My Son About Being a Man
This guy needs to read "The Way of Men". Being a man is inherently amoral, "evil" men (murders, thieves, bandits, and revolutionaries) are often better at being a man than their "concerned with being good" male counterparts. It's not to glorify evil but rather point out that these men are usually capable of making extreme decisions in a hurry.
Quote:12. A man knows that men have traditionally held power in society; therefore it falls to men to be ever-vigilant in noticing wrongs that must be righted. A man does not allow misogynists, racists, bigots, rapists, or other hateful folk to operate without rebuke. Those things should not be, not within the reach of his hand. A real man seeks fairness and justice in all things.
Misogynists get thrown in with rapists? Who is defining fairness and justice in this instance? I would presume women.
Quote:3. [b]A man does not define himself by how well he controls others.[b] He defines himself by how much those over whom he has no control respect and love him enough to listen and be with him even though they don't have to. A real man commands admiration, not demands admiration.
Women often do.
Quote:1. A man never forgets his privilege, and refuses the temptation to use it. A real man refuses to allow other lesser men to use it either.
Standing up to piss? Paying child support? He needs to elaborate before he uses his high moral standards to feel superior to so-called "lesser men".
