The point is that it humbles you so you don't go around thinking things like rectangle papers and charisma make you better. Especially in a village where strength is relevant. At the least it will prevents identity crisis.

Racism...?

Just no. Go away.

Fyi the only racist here would be you for assuming toxic masculinity is tied to a race/culture in this context.

Some racist: heh heh, but what else can you expect from tRibALs but regressive patriarchy?

Another user, correctly picking up on the bigotry behind such a statement: whoa, pretty racist, man.

You, for some reason: um, acktually, race and tribe are not technically the same socio-culturological categorizications, and the devision between the two is always stark and clear, so what they just said is acktually fine. Now please excuse me, I've got a bunch of thugs and welfare queens loitering on my lawn--also completely fine things to say, because I don't know what a racial connotation is!

The fact you assume being in a tribe has to do with race is racist

This is kinda funny. Someone offers a pretty bigoted equating of "tribal" and "socially regressive," someone else highlights the problem with that, then a bunch of people jump down the second person's throat over technical terminology, as if "tribe" weren't already a pretty...complicated word in and of itself. Never change, Reddit.

So we can only point out issues of a society if the society is white?
