Until society agrees to a sane and worthy definition of manhood, the insanity will keep escalating.
I agree with you on principle, but I'm struggling to think of a society in which young men haven't done dangerous things their parents considered stupid.
Can’t remember which one it was, but I heard on the radio a Preacher defining masculinity this way:
Masculinity
1. A battle to fight
2. An adventure to live
3. A beauty to rescue
I wrote it down 10 years ago on the white board in my garage, and it’s still there.
