Throughout his campaign, Donald J. Trump has displayed a particular type of hyper masculinity — the man who is proud not to apologize and to have never changed a diaper; who views “loser” as the ultimate insult; who bonds with other men by objectifying women.
It’s especially striking because today’s schools and workplaces try to value something different: empathy, impulse control and collaboration. For three decades, jobs that require these social skills have grown much more than others, researchers have found. They say one reason that boys are more likely than girls to get in trouble in school and are less likely to graduate is that a narrow definition of masculinity can stunt their ability to develop these skills.

Well I was told by my brother when I was 10 years old:
Girls have ‘balls’ on their chest and boys have ‘balls’ between their legs...other than that, it makes no difference...so stand up, stand firm, and fight like there is no tomorrow...let them make the first move, and then go in for the kill...
That has saved my life more than once!!!
