The principles here can be extrapolated into a number of different areas of life--pastors, entrepreneurs, and more. These kinds of men put themselves in the middle of a target, and unlike Hollywood, there is no director to stay Thanos' hand.
These kinds of men, especially pastors, get hit. They get attacked. They say things that are offensive to worldly sensibilities and become as Paul was: "To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, 12 and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things."
This state and this domain is, frankly, unbecoming of a woman. It is not within the nature of a woman to get hit and endure the constant low-grade pain of an earth that resents our toil. Her pain is acute, intense, and over quickly; and it produces life.
Weak men give up and let women become the protagonist. Good men endure. Great men conquer.
Great insight here Will.
