“Today, very few of us have to hunt or fight or protect the perimeter — we barely have to get out of bed. But that doesn’t erase tens of thousands of years of evolutionary history. It doesn’t erase our natural desire to be men — to prove strength, courage, mastery, or honor — any more than realizing that the world doesn’t need that many more children erases our natural desire to have sex. It’s a natural drive, and it’s part of who we are.” – Jack Donovan
