alt Hacker News>it is always "men" in these discussions
This obviously means "human" in this context.
But of course this saying is just a meme at best, it doesn't work like that in reality. In fact, good times make strong men just like good childhood makes strong adults.

In the abstract yes. In practice I mainly hear this meme spouted by trad-masculine-sparta types.

I disagree, people who say this often are "great men of history" types that genuinely ascribe much of the significant events in human history to the activities of men alone.
