			''Now, war, of course, is an easy counter to that. But, the more distance we've gotten from World War Two, I worry that we've forgotten exactly why men exist, in terms of their full complement of abilities and skills and functions. Do you think that there's anything to the concept that masculinity may be intrinsically fragile? Like, it's subject to veto. If you say, you know, if you do something that's heroic, let's say and nobody chooses to acknowledge it, or like, "well, you're showing off", you know, it's a very hard thing to protect.''
