Everything in our society tells men how to be masculine, and women how to be feminine. Through songs, movies, commercials. Corporations depend on these gender binaries to sell us shyt. Pink girly toys for little girls. Rough, tough toys for boys. On into adulthood with deodorant being marketed to women in pink sparkly cans while men's deodorant is "EXTREME," as a way of marketing to men. Even when we're babies boys get the blue colored room, and girls get the pink colored room. No, no one sat me down one day and told me I had to do x, y, and z if I wanted to appear masculine, but we pick up on these social cues along the way. Its so ingrained in our society that you might not even pick up on it.
Those are learned not innate
Studies have been done on toddlers hell even our closer cousins, monkeys

Is it natural for white men to dominate black men? Do white men have a biological urge to dominate us? And if so, do we have a biological urge to submit to them?
White men only dominate based on a system of money aka resources. Before we sold ourselves out and we're living on the continent we had the same issue but the resources were different and so we're the people. Race is a social construct that is younger than.the masculine ideal. White men though beta in most cases can appear alpha because of the society we live in. Which is mainly based on material goods. In terms of testosterone out put and survival ability (nature's original masculine qualifiers) we out pace them.

Masculinity and what it means to be a man is learned and the learned behaviors are severely warped in the Black community, many males think that being a man is all about impregnating women, exerting dominance over them and how many women they can have sex with, in other cultures, masculinity means something entirely different.
"You don't watch football, you're not a real man"
This and other variations of it are some of the most stupidest things I've ever heard.
"You don't like cars, you're not a man"
"You don't have multiple bytches, you're not a man"
"You won't slap me, you're not a man" (My ex
)

How is this a bigger issue than Black men literally murdering each other because they feel their manhood was disrespected?
You nikkas get on the Internet and say anything.
