Healthy Masculinity: The Idea That Men Can Control Themselves

[One_Life_To_Give]

6. Thought men were all about Control

Always in control even when we aren't. At-least that is the way I learned it. Then again I am not afraid or bothered by hearing that Men rape, steal, kill, etc. as statistically we do. But that doesn't mean I do. It's only a reflection on what I have not been able to prevent/control from happening. I don't buy that boys have to destroy things anymore than I buy that all boys must end up in prison.

When I first started this thread I thought of Kenny Rogers Coward of the County. Violence can only make me less of a man. Standing up for what is right, helping others, etc. that is so much more important.
