What is a real man?

Reminds me of this time a shopkeeper was detaining a shoplifter in the street, a crowd of at least 12 women stood by clucking, and when I walked by I was shamed into helping, never mind that the guy was already contained and all that was needed was some weight to keep him down, all I did was sit on him, something any of the women could have done, no feminists there. There was no threat or anything, it was just about laziness and using people. And was there any 'well done'? Nope, just the risk someone could decide my sitting on him was too violent or something. Hooray for me for being a man.

A real man is a legal adult who identifies as male. Can't be bothered reading a long article right now so I'm not sure if I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you, but I don't think any essential qualities should be ascribed to the definition. If a man is terrible - a rapist who watches videos of puppies being kicked for fun, say - he's a terrible person, but that doesn't have any effect on his manhood; it doesn't make him more or less of a man.
