That sounds like the lyrics from "Branded", the "other" Chuck O'Connor (The Rifleman) show.

"For the rest
of your life
You must prove... You're a man!"

For me, the answer has been to take the sense of community I get from my PC peeps and carry that feeling with me into the world. I kinda feel like I have my friends here looking over my shoulder at the coffee shop, standing in line with me, synchronized swimming with me - ya feel me? They're like a good, supportive, encouraging family, they - we - got your back, always.
