“The Tough Guy approach is to learn “both sides,” to aggressively Question. But he is already into step two. His big concern is LOOKING doubtful, not in analyzing reality.”
I always thought that meant he knew who was wrong and was protecting him. So when he puts on the tough image, I’m thinking “What a wuss,” and he can tell he’s not fooling me, so he gets pissed.
ME:
You got it!
All my life the people who chickened out did so by sayng they were just being “realistic” and “experienced.” No member of the Masturbatin Generation said, “I’m not going to go out there and get my butt beat with you,” they said, “I was IN World War II, and I MADE my REAL sacrifices.”
The Masturbation Generation never said, “I had my butt kicked into line and was taught to obey without question.” They said, “I learned out in the REAL world that you just have to settle for things as they REALLY are.

Tough guys don’t impress me a whole lot, but I do like Take Charge guys, especially if they’re on our side.
