I Have a Question

How does bullying two older women who are simply asking you to show some common decency make you a man?

People like that just have a fundamentally different understanding of what self-confidence means. Many younger people tend to associate confidence with having the boldness to simply do as they please without being swayed by others' feelings. They do not quite have a solid enough sense of who they are to be able to easily compromise over even small matters without feeling this as permitting a nigh-existential onslaught on their own identity.

Such, at least, is my perception of how those among such younger people who actually have a good prognosis for "growing out of" this behavior relate to confidence. The more problematic ones are the people who have never been acclimated to this notion of common decency enough to even have the hole in their heart where it [i]could[/i] be.
