Please! "Hunter Gatherers" - "warriors" is a boys' club term for it.

 

I can accept that the term "warrior" glorifies something nasty, but what term 
to use? "Hunter Gatherer" is not what I mean. I refer to the people who 
directly confront other groups in battles to the death. Men are naturally more 
suited for this sort of thing due to endocrine system differences, that leads 
to bigger bodies, more muscles and more aggression.


I think it's silly to say "warrior" glorifies something nasty.  That's a 
politically correct judgement looking back at a different era through current 
glasses.  Having good warriors was sometimes the difference between survival 
and extinction.  Is what the men did in holding Bastogne "nasty"?

 

I agree. I felt into the PC trap myself by trying to remove distractions from 
the other point I was trying to make.

 

“Warrior” is an archetype existing in each of us, man or woman! It is a value 
neutral, potential, that is innate in our species (as well as most other animal 
species)  The warrior is our inner guardian (facet/archetype of our nature) – 
there and accessible from somewhere within each of us (if we can discover this 
and through meditated practice learn how to access this) to focus our being in 
such moments and take such clear headed calm centered actions as needed in 
order to ensure the continuity of our existential thread in four dimensional 
spacetime.

Being able to access the “warrior” within confers a definite survival advantage 
for the individual who nurtures the emergence of a solid and well known 
connection within themselves to this facet of their being.

Political power structures naturally seek to harness this individual inner 
phenomenon for the furtherance of whatever individual, family, or class agenda 
is dear to their hearts… and whole generations are sent off to slaughter (as in 
WWI) – so as with most things the value attached to “warrior” comes from and is 
caused by the intent and context from which it emerges.
