He will not go away. He has been harassing people here for many years, and he sees it as his duty to do it. He is the inofficial guard of the traditional social system here. He can go on abusing people until they give up and disappear, or accept the system and keep quiet about it, and accept his leadership without protests. Most people have something to lose emotionally, so they are not prepared to fight back more than for a short time, then they give up and take care of their mind in a better way.
The guards of the social system, like mr. Fields, have sacrificed their peace of mind and replaced it with will power. They guard the manly ideal, guard the secrets about gender roles and how the traditional social system works. Such a guard can go on forever, because he believes strongly in the system, and he has secret support from other men. The only thing which can stop him is a new insight, like if he realizes that he stands for an old traditional system which is detrimental to mankind, and that we have to abolish this old system.
We have been trying to abolish this old traditional system but it is still present and a lot of people cannot see any alternative. We have abolished all official rules based on gender rules and religious ideas, but we have not abolished this old system in the practical reality.
