- content: Men develop a strong loyalty to violence. Men must come to terms with violence
 
-   because it is the prime component of male identity. Institutionalized in sports,
 
-   the military, acculturated sexuality, the history and mythology of heroism, it is
 
-   taught to boys until they become its advocates-men, not women. Men become advocates
 
-   of that which they most fear. In mastery of fear they experience freedom. Men transform
 
-   their fear of male violence into a metaphysical commitment to male violence. Violence
 
-   itself becomes the central definition of any experience that is profound and significant.
