well of course what you describe involve extreme cases, and if the brother had pointed to such things it would be understandable.
But he didn’t.
Instead he strangely describes being stronger, being athletic, not crumbling under pressure like his weaker brother.
It sounds like an extreme case of sibling rivalry.
Would you air your family's dirty laundry in the media on the national level? I wouldn't.
Instead he strangely describes being stronger, being athletic, not crumbling under pressure like his weaker brother.
That "macho" attitude could come from the same type of family environment I described with my B-I-L, wherein he could have either resisted more than his brother or is ashamed of what happened and overcompensates. My B-I-L's son turned out to be a macho type who beats his wife. The human psyche is actually pretty predictable in these matters.
