Not every Hero is a Yank. This one is a Canuck. Good on him.
Sadly, Steyn’s fear that the average man is now fretting over microaggresions in an ivory tower is far too real.
In fact, it might make an interesting study to map Physical Altercations against Timidity.
How many physical fights have you had in your life?
How timid are you in business, in finance, in foreign affairs?It may be that humans need to learn how to fight to learn how to win. Modern Americans never fight – not even verbally. How can we hope to win?

Generation after generation, somehow we do.
But hope is not a strategy.

Recently, my children picked me out as a “mover” personality type because I am one who does not just quietly accept nonsense.
