Note to Young Men
- Richter
Note to Young Men – by Richter – You may hear some noise from these people or groups
talking more about “Manliness”. Like character, integrity,
strength, or proper use of testosterone are some kind of
fine lost art.
They’re NOT.
Growing your chin pubes won’t do shit.
Carrying a pocketknife won’t do shit.
Suspenders, pipe smoking, bourbn drinking, gun
shooting board nailing, woods walking, Jack Londoning,
Melville, Kipling, Kennedy, strt razoring, Masons,
turkish baths and Indian clubs won’t do SHIT EITHER.
That little voice in the back of your head – the one
that you disregard because it sounds like daddy or
grandaddy – that tells you to do something because it’s
“Right” or “responsible” – start there.
If you don’t have this voice find a role model.
(Same as above)
