I want to point you towards ~~ rfifthglyph ~~ rAVoid 5 . <| sep |> i was changed to life sentence , and only people the story ganed a lot of traction and the US with the obama admin applied some diplomatic pressure in terms of aid to uganda . <| sep |> I mean , you know where it comes from . Men , usually being the larger of the species due to physiology and not choice , ended up in the role of protector when violence was often the way problems were solved . Fighting . War . And hunting was a way of life , requiring the physical and violent defeat of animals . Excelling in feats of strength became a hallmark of masculinity . So , we come by it very naturally . Living in a time when we are organized enough to be able to choose peace most of the time , what other traits would you like to define masculinity , if any ?
