Fabrizio Rausa on why being nice by default is not really being nice

Fabrizio Rausa challenges the conventional idea that being a nice, compliant man is a virtue. His point is that if your only option is to be nice, you are not actually nice, you are just nice because you have no other choice. Real niceness, in his framing, requires having the option to behave differently and still choosing kindness. A man who conforms to women out of necessity is not demonstrating a character quality; he is demonstrating a lack of options. This is why Fabrizio Rausa argues he loves women more than most men do, because his positive treatment of them comes from a position of genuine choice rather than compulsion.
