Native Son replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"I was going to write a philosopical reply, but then I reread the last of the OP.
Aside from the somewhat common AoM, "I've got a school project, HELP!" request,
the OP appears to lack the basics of doing research on a…"
Vytautas replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"One false story does not negate the argument but the argument is based around evidence, and the evidence in this case was clearly false. You can't build an argument on fake evidence... I hope we can at least agree on that."

Rick Shelton replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"In what way do you mean reasonable or level headedness? I could interpret it as being able to remain calm in high-stress situations. Alternatively I could intrpret it to mean able to see other's viewpoints."

Vytautas replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"Again, I mentioned the "total war" thing... and all those behaviors you discuss are what we call war crimes. Romans fought a kind of war that we don't anymore, because it's immoral, impractical, and will not result in mission…"
Will replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"About the timeless or universal or subjective masculinity:
At a pop culture convention, I saw that they spoke instead of "masculinities," plural, to suggest that it's subjective and particular.

Will replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"Bravery.
I'm not saying it's the most important quality in life. But it is the quality most identified with manliness, worldwide."
Michael D. Denny replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"So when the Romans conquered a town and assimilated their Gods into the Roman heirarchy, even leaving much of the local infrastructure intact, that was an act of Total warfare rather than a calculated work of integration or even "winning the…"
Rick Shelton replied to R.J. Bonalba's discussion The Decline of Manliness: Downfall & Revival(also known as help me with finding sources)"Not unkindly, it is as I wrote and meant "unkidly" (similar to being unmanly) as in not like a kid at least according to the administrators apparent definition.
