thats the point...i didn't *have* to take that shit becuase they didn't ask me to. just the same, you don't have to ask a woman to bow down to you because you've got a better left hook. physical might gives you options...what you do with that might is a testament to your character.
just because a violence enforced social order can be made to function does not mean it is blessed by God. i was lucky to have friends who did not expect servitude in return for their protection, and its made me a critic of any order that would give male priviledge based on our strength....i take personal pride in being able to be protective, but i expect no quid pro quo from it. leadership in one sense does not mean leadership in all senses...
