I have no problem with responsible gun owners who own weapons for self-protection, hunting, or just sport. The ones who believe they have a constitutional right to 100-round magazines to fight off I don't know what - a zombie apocalypse? - try to shut down dialogue with threats and other macho posing because of their flawed beliefs.

I really think that Muslim people should stop raising their boys and girls that way. They instill a macho culture right from the start of childhood.

It was quite a macho world I grew up in, but it was always cheeky and funny, and the women were the ones in the background that were really in control.

Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.

Modern Usage Shift

 You see that furrowed brow in people. And then you realize they don't even have compassion on themselves. They're driven by this duty and this obligation. "I have to get that. I need more. I'm not worthy. And I should do something." And they're rushing around all stressed out. And they think of it as somehow macho, hard discipline on themselves.
