Why Most Men Are Wimps

Most men nowdays are wimps because we no longer have some rite of passage into adulthood. Before we had to overcome some test of ourselves to prove our self-worth. Within that test was our self-confidence, the exposure of our limits, and in total, our manhood. Now we're coddled and indemnified at every turn. Survival is now shopping, competition is now leisure, sport is now merely entertainment.

Women grow through connection, men grow through adversity. With the exception of perhaps a career in sales or entrepreneurship, what "rite of passage" does a guy have now?
