I've always considered myself to be a classical. What I mean by that is in my nature and in most men's nature we adhere to what the classics felt masculinity was a competition for survival basically. The only man greater than you is a man who can kill you. Even then your honor requires you to still challenge your superior in some way with the hopes of unseating him eventually. Almost all concepts of masculinity follow those basic concepts. The modern conception of masculinity is defined by women. Additionally policing has also destroyed traditional concepts of masculinity. Before you could challenge your superiors in honorable combat in some form. Either on the battlefield for foreigners or in some kind of bloodsport agains countrymen and kin. Only one man walked away and that man was then right one because he had the force to back up his claims. Policing prevents that because it makes a a real man and enemy of the state if he kills someone the state has arbitrarily deemed of esteem. Politicians and cowards hide behind police and the state apparatus. When men stopped being able to kill each other in duels and bloodsport men stopped being men.
