None of the qualities you list are the true measure of a man.
The true measure, the most difficult, is honesty.
It’s opposite, that which emasculates, is dishonesty. Like when Trump’s comments are mischaracterized for political purposes.
So yes, I’m saying you’ve emasculated yourself.
I wasn’t saying they were the “measure of a man”. The original poster was describing the comments as “machismo”. I think the qualities I described qualify as “macho”, which is really all I was going for.
By your posts I see you are a Christian. I won’t insult a brother. But for what it’s worth, I like to think I have some measure of honesty as well, and it is intellectual honesty that is making me think this is not going away.
