Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Absolute masculinity is a lodestar in the human mind, and it represents a perfect form that, in its most extreme expression, differentiates human males from human females. #2 The primary role of a man has always been to defend or expand the perimeter of his group’s control, to build and maintain an ordered world within that perimeter, and to venture beyond the warmth and safety of its nuclear fires to secure resources. Today, hunting is a luxury rather than a necessity. #3 Those who say that masculinity is no longer necessary are correct. Men who spend no time training the metaphorical muscle of masculinity like to believe that they would be able to step in and be a hero if some extreme scenario demanded it, but this is a fantasy sold to them by the entertainment industry. #4 Today, being a man is not necessary. Men are not needed or required by society, and they don’t need it to survive. But to simply want to be useful is the highest value of a man who has resigned himself to the life of a slave.
