Reposting my stuff from other thread:
Masculine traits:strength, courage, mastery and honor. I agree. mostly however:
"Mastery is a man’s desire and ability to cultivate and
demonstrate proficiency and expertise in technics that aid
in the exertion of will over himself, over nature, over
women, and over other men."
Man should not exert his will over nature because the nature's laws are superior to human will. Maybe this was not meant this way but it kind of implies man can change nature(this is the basis of leftism)
Moreover the mastery here does not refer to self mastery which is an essential part of masculine archetypes as put by Evola - man the warrior and the ascetic. But I understand that sodomy itself is a negation of nature, the ultimate rejection of it an example of "man exerting his will upon nature in order to fullfil his hedonistic desires." So that's why sodomy and self-mastery do not go hand in hand because the sodomite is a slave of his passions.Man must be able to control himself before leading others.
Then the chapter "honor" makes little sense because of the lack of "mastery" Donovan considers mastery to be simply some ability to do something - set a fire, produce a weapon, play the music
