Our need to own and protect

[The Accountant]

I've read that we as men tend to claim what we want as ours, and desire to protect it as an innate need. Saw that in myself today, some guy was trying to flirt with one of my plates and was just annoying her while she was trying to study. I didn't do anything because of the circumstance but I really wanted to go up to the guy and tell him to fvck off.

It got me thinking about how my plate would have seen that. The feminists would say she can handle herself, and maybe she'd see me indirectly taking ownership as being needy. I really don't know. Is this desire something I should repress or embrace?

It’s context-dependent, and it needs to be congruent with who you are as well. That’s the problem. You need to know when to display dominance and when not to give a ****. Only experience can truly teach you tonknow when to do what. And it needs to be in line with your character too. Otherwise people will think you’re just fronting and not respect you for it.
