Manliness can’t be bought.

It can only be earned.

That is why the Consumer Culture, our dominant culture,
is so toxic for Men.

A Man cannot “buy” his manliness with expensive clothes, a
fast car, a big house, lots of girlfriends and a steroid physique.

Manliness
can only be earned through training and fighting. 

Fighting produces and
nurtures Manliness.
