“Testosterone is a good thing”
Finally: An article that says that testosterone and being macho is good. You’ve got to read this! Bruce Fleming calls testosterone ‘the elixir of gods’ and claims that male aggression is the reason why the human race haven’t died out. This is so good I had to read it four times. I’m so fed up about women (and men) saying that it’s wrong to be men. Whenever some stupid guy does something bad, the problem is ‘men’. Well, here’s a wake-up call from Bruce: We are men, and it’s good.
I love being a guy. And one of my not-so-guilty pleasures at being at the Naval Academy is the pleasure I get at the clouds of testosterone spewed forth by so many of my students. Of course, I also love women, my wife in particular. I’m firmly convinced that being happy about being a guy is a necessary precursor to loving a woman.
Still, it’s pretty clear to me that everybody knows that what comes from the testicles, the very essence of being for 49% of the human race, pure gold in human form, is what’s behind YUT! It’s what’s behind GET SOME! It’s behind NO WHINING. It’s behind anything that was every hard to get and nonetheless was got. Even women need testosterone to have a decent sex drive. Women who want to get huge muscles take shots of the stuff.
The problem is not, repeat: not, male aggression. It’s unchanneled male aggression. You channel aggression by educating men and by explaining to them that with power come responsibilities. Sure, most men are physically powerful enough to commit rape, but that’s not an expression of power — it’s low and hurtful and cruel: just what a real man doesn’t want to be.
