The real turning point for me was realizing a few years back that the concept of being recognized as a Man was an absolute Lie.
Because the second you break past that boundary and a Man in authority recognizes that you're worth recognition and praise, their brains re-label you a Threat.
And they treat you like they resent you.
So, fuck that, if there's no point to being a Man that isn't confrontational and violent, I'm done with it.
I've got more than enough to live on stored up. =P
