This whole conversation reminds me of this amazing lesson @Shugard gave to German youth about the necessity of power: #807076

I do think many young people have such a jaded view of the world, or perhaps because they've been too influenced by post modernism, that it causes them to not rise up and take responsibility for distinguishing between good and evil uses of power

The art of leading without being authoritarian is to give space but stay 100% principled. Let people speak but wield power wisely, and work your ass off. If you want to be a wolf, you cannot be lazy.

We in the US. Men specifically have a lot of blame for the world. We have been too passive and allowed feminism as an excuse for not taking responsibilities and leading. Great leadership doesn't have to be toxic and controlling. Many years ago my pastor at the time challenged the young men in out church to reject passivity. It's easy to just go along and not grow up. To allow your wife to be more like a mother for a perpetual adolescent male.

Or worse yet to just sleep with weak women or live with one making zero commitment. I reject the idea that there are not women that want a real man. You just have to be one and you will find the woman that shares these values. I've seen it.

Few things turn my stomach more than passive males that have shirked responsibility for their choices and family. Everyone has excuses. I have no time for it anymore. We need to grow up and be men.
