It also has to be modeled and explicitly taught IMO by men that boys respect. I was lucky to have a father & uncles who were quite clear about the standards of "honorable" behavior and believed that a man who abused a woman wasn't much of a man. And a manly man doesn't "kiss & tell." -->

The SR-71 was so elusive that to this day the CIA still […]
