I've posted the OP and I'm honestly not sure if this should go on. There's no reason  to take it down but dammit I'm surprised by the responses of what I thought was an intelligent community.

Take a look at either religious threads or at a few of the threads about gay rights. I'm not surprised by these replies ^^

There are a lot of interesting question marks regarding the discussions in this thread though, things like "doing the right thing" and "being a real man".

Right thing (or real man/woman) according to who? And why? Because these things are NOT universal truths. Never have been. There is no oracle to ask, no instruction manual to refer too. These are questions everyone has to answer for themselves.

Some knuckle-draggers in here...

This shit wouldn't fly in any acadmic institution on the entire planet,

yet these blockheads think this is a sufficient response?

Just an FYI when you're wrapping your "point" in 2 insults about intelligence it's probably best to make sure you don't typo something like that.

As for your point tho, some people hold their beliefs so strongly that they can't imagine anything else being true, say there was a thread titled "should I punch babies?" hopefully most of the replies in it would simply be "No" it doesn't need further explanation why people think that, because in their minds it shouldn't require explaning, the same thing is true of those who say that "real men would let the women live" and leave it at that, they might not feel the need to expand on it because it is as basic to them as not punching a baby.

Besides John2290 isn't asking people for a Acadmic style report with examples and references provided, this is an internet forum for knuckle-dragging blockheads!
