Do people find this stuff compelling? Rank speculation and confident assertion with minimal substantive backing?
I’d find this statement equally compelling (which is to say, not at all):
> Since we stopped using horses as a primary means of transportation, men’s sense of self worth has diminished. Riding a horse carried a lot of high status connotations: drive, masculinity, towering above the land, and man’s domination over nature. Now, we drive metal cars, low to the ground, and driving one is seen as commonplace. All of men’s low sense of self worth stems from this.
