In my opinion the definition of masculinity has been skewed to encourage an artificial stereotype of what defines a man. I say this standing on the shoulders of giants, in my life I've had many mentors that have shown me what it means to be a man. Its been said you can tell the size of a man by the size of what makes him angry Men in this society have been told to fill their days as indentured servants working for nameless faceless wealthy corporate overlords They want you to be so tired you can't fight for what we all know is right They want you to think happiness can be bought with the money they print on our backs. They want you to watch free porn and hook up with loose women because they say that's what a man is. A man is someone who is careful with his heart and the hearts of those he loves.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.
