This is earning your stripes in a craft, a career, a skill as a father, as a husband.
This is the way of the real genuine masculine man.
earning status through competence and respect.

Real masculinity isn't about being an alpha lion in a YouTube thumbnail.
It's about being a person of substance who makes the world a better place, who leaves the world or the room or the community better than when they found it.

Where have all the good men gone?
They haven't gone anywhere.
