Maybe it's because I reject most of the macho John Wayne bullshit - not just because I am a pain in the ass, but because it is a mythical misrepresentation that has prompted men to have irrational expectations of themselves, often to the detriment of many others - but, maybe it's because of that that I don't see those as the only two options.

Violence or subservience.
