They *do* need masculinity. They need Shamgar killing 600 Philistines and Christ cleansing the temple and so on. They do also need "turn the other cheek", but that builds on a pre-existing foundation of "an eye for an eye".

In other words, not only should violent retribution be limited to the scope of the offense, avoiding runaway-feedback blood feuds, it should be *absolutely* limited. Horizontal violence is properly used for protection, not retribution, as in the cases of Shamgar and the cleansing. Retribution is left in the scope of vertical violence (divine judgement, civil judgement, etc). But if you don't understand that retribution is part of the Law and character of God, "turn the other cheek" just makes you hopeless.

My problem was we were taught taking abuse and being hurt was morally virtuous. Nobody should be taught to seek retribution but standing up to an abuser and not accepting the mistreatment is a better option.
