Yes, but men of the west were also more genteel. (Including vs. now when often more violent in general but not at all when it comes to PCnes.)
It’s the balance.
After all, it’s Moslems who represent that ultimate “quick to fisticuffs”. And much worse, like losing heads.
Beware of what you want. Because by that definition, Moslems are the ultimate ideal males.
Muslims are ideal males???
Because they beat defenseless females?
I don’t think you understand the old concept of chivalry. Chivalrous men were quick to fight against other men and protect women and the defenseless. It was all about honor. The way this Muslim fought was in no way, shame or form honorable. Men of the 50s still had a little of this way of thinking.
