A Woman Defining "Real Man" Fair or Foul?

Hell, I'd go so far as to say even other men don't get to define for me what a "Real Man" is. I will decide what being a man means to me, no anti-testosterone rager or tucker max brosef will have any sway.

Foul. Mostly because I think anyone trying to define proper gender roles for anybody else is stupid and arrogant. See also: Esquire magazine.

The guy has a good quote:

We just take for granted (the truth) that we know nothing about the complexities of womanhood to generate statements about a segment of society that we don’t belong [to].

So women should take the same reasonable stance and STFU.

Also, it seems to me that most requirements made of a "real man" by women tend towards behaviors that materially benefit a woman in a relationship, without any relevance to a man's moral fiber or character. So, doubly so, they can STFU.

If she can define what it is to be a man, doesn't that make her a man?

A glaringly obvious flaw in that logic is that no two men are the same.
