@mutageno I don't know how to say this without coming off like an asshole, but men shouldn't need fictional stories to grasp abstract concepts.

Women and children often need stories to "teach" them about morals and philosophical concepts because their brains can't grasp the abstract without something "real" to ground it for for them.

Note that Ayn Rand wrote a bunch of fiction books to demonstrate her philosophy. This is not a coincidence.
