"Aggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it...Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where blood shed is a perquisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing. A boy wants to attack something, and so does a man, even if it's only a little white ball on a tee."
John Eldredge
Marchers,
I have watched many fine men fight their own health battles, and , in my mind, I saw myself stand their helplessly, and watch this fight, wanting to attack something in my helplessness, and not knowing what to do to help.
This march is not a cure, nor will it pay for a cure, it is solely a show of solidarity. It is the aggressive nature of a man, that makes him want to attack his enemy; that makes him seek a thing or person to attack.
Thanking about this area of my gender nature, maybe this march is for me, for us. maybe this march, is a way not only to show support, but conquer our helplessness as we stand on the sidelines and watch Addison's battle. I am tired, not from the physical aspect of sitting around watching others, but the mental tightness of the spring of doing nothing. A physical thing, a physical something is a great way to release the spring. Let' march; let's do something aggressive together, and build a bond of togetherness; a sense of belonging to each other, and caring for one another and Addison as we attack the march in support of one of our own.
