Reaction to Waller Newell

I found Waller Newell’s lecture interesting and unique. The most interesting point he brought up was that if we define manliness to young men as barbaric, these same young men will act barbaric. I found this point so interesting because it means that men have potential to change. If we stop telling young men/ boys that being manly means being barbaric and macho and start telling them that being manly means being chivalric and courageous, we will raise better men for the rest of our lives.
