[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3141865, member: 18914"] I agree that honor is important, not as important, I would argue, as morality because without morality honor can become quite deformed, but important. Likewise, respect is the baseline for treating others. However, there is good reason to include masculinity as a virtue of its own. We are designed by nature (God, if you like) first and foremost to protect our wives, children, friends, and family - it comes very naturally to most men in one degree or another and we ignore or subvert it at our peril - the peril being that we risk rendering ourselves as useless as teats on a boar. Healthy masculinity is not the overbearing nonsense that Hollywood likes to portray nowadays but the best of what we see in our fathers, grandfathers, and brothers. Not exclusively tied to maleness but predominant and quite natural to that state. So, I don't want to discount what you've said but I also don't see it as an "alternative" to honoring masculinity but rather an addition in a well rounded person. [/QUOTE]
