This is wrong. Men still had to prove their worth in every patriarchy. This is touted by [[tradcon]]s as [[sexual sublimination]], as part of [[socialization]], [[chivalry]], and [[neoliberalism|'manning up' | This is wrong.

So yes, men always had to prove their "worth". In medieval times if you were ostracized you joined the 20% of people dying on the streets. In the 19th century, if your dad cockblocked you, you joined the 70% of men under 25 who weren't married and probably weren't having sex. | So yes, men always had to prove their "worth".
