[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 566576, member: 14557"] Military and competitive team sports have a lot in common also in this. And yeah, United States certainly isn't the most macho-driven place in world. I just happen to live in one of those places that tend to be very low key in that. (Even our military is not very macho to be honest, in fact they consider being a macho to be dangerous and leading to stupid risks.) And I do hope things are getting better. For example suicides, mental health issues and many other things are nowadays much more talked and accepted than earlier both sides a bond. I have to say I'm very relieved that there seems to be much less of any macho koi in adult level in my kids sports. As I said difficult child once was in the horrible team when it comes to these issues and that was pain. I absolutely hate it when my sons utter some macho koi. And especially difficult child has always been vulnerable to trying to imitate that. Luckily now if he tries to be too macho his team-mates are more likely to just mock him because of that. I do hope he slowly does learn that it is not appreciated in his current surroundings and simply drops it. [/QUOTE]
