Where's Your Thesis Statement?

So I showed my hub "My Son Becomes a Man" to my writing group, they hemmed and hawed a bit, and then someone asked, "What's your point exactly?"

I tried to explain my point. Something along the lines of masculinity is this powerful force that can get dark and violent, but that very same force drives men to take charge, stand up for right, and care for loved ones.

Halfway decent thesis, but it was in my brain, and not on the page. I'm going back to the article, and working some rewrites.

I made some changes, and it wasn't as painful as i thought it would be.

It's Friday, I have the house to myself, and I'm going to do some laundry, then curl up with a book.

Here is the new improved hub:
