Steven Arms | From Boyhood to Manhood, "I never questioned my own status as a man."

"I think we should touch on how the rite of passage impacted my life and really the rite of passage affected me in two ways. For one, I never questioned my status as a man growing up. You know, logically, as a 13 year old boy... I, I saw these men who took me on my weekend, and I never questioned this, the, the fact that they were, in fact, men they were bigger than me. They were stronger than me, older than me. They were all married.
They all had kids. There was no doubt in my mind that these were men. Right? There was also no doubt in my mind that they had taken a whole weekend to tell me. You are now a man too. So logically I can, I never questioned my own status as a man. Other men told me I was a man. Therefore I considered myself to be a man." - Steven Arms on the Remarkable People Podcast
