real men

“Moktada,” Mr. Hussein replied, smiling contemptuously. “Is this how real men behave?”

Link. That quote jumped out at me, due to recent ruminations on gender... I would dearly like to know how real men behave, and I'm not sure that rereading Robert Bly would settle the matter.

I don't have time to reread it, anyway; class starts tomorrow, and I (of course) have not yet even bought the books.

Update: "It's outrageous- an execution during Eid. Muslims all over the world (with the exception of Iran) are outraged. Eid is a time of peace, of putting aside quarrels and anger- at least for the duration of Eid." -River
