That kind of man would rather kill you (not himself) than be seen as weak

It’s a fairly specific situation/kind of person the guy is describing here. A highly insecure man hasn’t fully developed his own inner confidence or moral core yet, so is more vulnerable to ill-intentioned advice or stereotypes about what a man should be. So when he’s trying to prove he’s not weak, he may go down a bad path and do extreme things to prove himself. Note that “trying to prove he’s not weak” is VERY different from “actually becoming stronger”.

Yes bc that type of man is much more likely to abuse (or even kill) his family than other men. They gain respect by demanding it and fear mongering rather than actually earning it

The problem is NOT that a man is insecure and working on himself. Wanting to become better at something, become a better person, strengthen yourself physically or mentally, etc. are usually a good thing. But then there’s not really a need to “prove” anything, because as you get stronger at something, you know you are stronger at it, and you get more secure, and other people’s opinions on it don’t matter quite as much anymore.

Right. It’s the need for bravado and “look at me” that ends up eclipsing self help

The stronger/more secure you get the more visceral the criticism. The more jealousy with destruction is communicated. Turning to an arms race of confidence and criticism. To have confidence you have to give a shit. Otherwise you just “k” the people who don’t get you

I will disagree here. If it’s genuine strength and confidence, you don’t rattle at the dumb things that make guys puff their chest out and swing their dicks. Yes, you do have to care however if you find yourself in what you say, you weren’t really doing it to help yourself in the first place

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but I don’t agree.. I think the very definition of being secure as a person is that you know which criticism is valid/helpful for you to improve as a person, and which criticism is just jealousy and not worth dwelling on (even if it stings temporarily).

The lengths a man will go to prove to himself how secure he is within himself can be scary.

theratqueen respects servicemen, I think they will make it very far in life, you on the other hand…let me give you an insight, during training we had a guy pew himself in the foot just to get out of a deployment…using that logic that means a deployment is worse than a pew pew
