Many house cats are declawed (because those damn things are sharp and hurt). Yet it's also against nature, much like a quaker who fights. The Quaker religion forbids fighting and violence, so a quaker who uses violence (even when he is justified) is unnatural, like a cat without claws.
It's also kind of ironic, since a cat without his claws is rather pussified (for lack of better term). So is that to say a man who fights with violence is less of a man? That certainly goes against the expectations of manhood (at least in Western culture).
