Jherek wasn't so sure how restraint was a masculine concept- he did think it often applied to good taste, however. Of course, Jherek's idea of restraint would be considered utter extravagance by any 21st century standard, and pure decadence by those of earlier contemporary eras. "I thought restraint had more to do with good taste? I know of many women who have very good taste, such as my mother. I don't believe that we have 'ethics' where I am from, but it sounds very interesting, all these matters of right and wrong."
Thinking about Wolfe's explanation further, he conjectured, "Perhaps it is an outdated concept we lost any use for. It sounds as if it might involve making others do things that they might not want to do." There were very few things that Jherek disapproved of, but forcing people to do things they didn't want to was one of them. "I apologize for all my questions, it's just that these cultural matters are very intriguing."
