This matches with my experience. Men really don't hold grudges against authority that give them stern, but fair punishments. Think of any sports coaches that make their athletes do extra running or push ups or whatever for punishment. They garner respect from their players, and there isn't real negativity towards them. Its cruel, arbitrary punishments, or mocking that causes resentment. If you take a test and get a 70 but its a fair grade, thats how it goes. If you deserved a 95 though, or the professor calls you an idiot, that is the antagonism generating event.
