As a male, what does masculinity mean to you?

[Neuromancer]

What is your definition of masculinity? Do you feel it has universal elements to it?

Discuss.

 

[UpAndComing]

Being the last line of responsibility

 

[Taadow]

Look at every word that has the prefix "man-" on it, then understand where that root comes from.

That.

 

[KneeGrow.]

Toxicity and pure evil

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Being able to protect and provide for my family, friends, and community.

Being able to remain calm and collected, when all around you is going crazy.

Giving respect, and demanding respect.

Ain’t nobody taking away or shaming me for my masculinity. I’m gone be this way until the day I die.

Logic. The more logical you carry yourself the more masculine you are.

 

[PL368Z]

Masculinity is a social construct that changes depending on the time period or culture.

the behaviours, values, or expectations a society views as being 'masculine' are largely the result of socialization, rather than as a result of some sort of 'hardwiring'.

Being the protector, leader, innovator, and provider in many facets of life as women by their very nature are child-like and fickle.

This. All this. Couldn’t have said it any better. Ain’t nobody or no agenda going to shame me for feeling this.

Real shyt. fukk the agenda, may everyone who is involved in attacking masculinity drop dead and rot in the deepest depths of hell.

Masculinity has won wars, built countries, cars, saved people etc. God made it that Men should be masculine and Women should be feminine. Get all that other confusing shyt outta here. If anyone I know, whether friends or family ever mention toxic masculinity, or hows role can be switched etc they are getting cut off. No time to listen to that bullshyt.
