That is technically a violation of copyright law and as such is discouraged unless another copy can be found -- unencumbered -- and linked to.
Most stories are picked up by several news sources. I also can't reach the NY times story but I have found this which might be the same story:

It's a level headed article. Not sure what to think of it really.

It is indeed a level headed article. It largely puts into words my thoughts on the subject: what is it to be a man? I take my ques from the feedback I get from my children. They are unsettled by anger and uncertainty. They need firm direction and space to be themselves. They need someone they can rely on. They need lots of love.
Kiplings words give me direction in a chaotic world: if you can keep your head when all about you / Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.” The entire work speaks of the necessity of calmness and courage.
That's it, that's all it takes, calmness and courage. Sometimes easier said that done but if you can do it then you are a man.
What you are wearing has nothingness do with it
