every society that has survived has done so based on its ability to persuade its sons to be disposable-as-needed: disposable in war, in work, or, if they died in work or war and were a dad, disposable as a dad. if a society survives based in part on its sons' disposability, the investment in not questioning that goes deep.

As a follow up question: do you think it is possible for a society to survive without the disposability of some segment of it's society?

If nobody is disposable, who does the dangerous/nasty jobs which are required for the rest of society to not have to deal with them?

when boys have their sense of purpose that includes disposability (e.g. football player; war hero) questioned, how do we help our sons find new senses of purpose?

I've finally figured out how I want to phrase my follow up question to this:

Have you ever read "The Way of Men" by Jack Donovan, which I feel directly addresses this issue, and if so what did you think of it in relation to this issue?

If you haven't, do you believe that there are fundamental biological differences between males and females? How do you think they factor into finding a new sense of purpose?

"Myth of Male Power" is academic.
