Defining masculinity

DangZagnut · 2019-04-09T02:31:57+00:00

Attacking masculinity is just a way to attack men indirectly.

"Toxic masculinity" is just a polite phrase that means "man hating".

So nothing about "men" is toxic or negative. Men aren't toxic, and anyone saying that is just a man-hater.

If some man does something illegal, it's that individual.

Being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost. That, and a pair of testicles.
I'm a guy, so everything but prostate trouble.
Dunno, ask a feminist.

What makes a man?

A man with a purpose.

What are positive traits of masculinity?

Freedom, Wealth, Honor, Responsibility.

What are negative traits of masculinity?

As in human nature, there's always a dark side. This is the asshole and dictator types that wants to control others and exploit them.

Masculinity is the force that conquer, first conquer himself then conquer other. After conquest, masculinity seeks to establish order and hierarchies to keep everything running well.

In other word, masculinity is taking control of your fucking life not slaved to anyone or any shallow desires. Masculinity is strong order and structure as oppose to chaos and fragmented.

A man rules himself first then rule other if needed.

Positive, negative ... Right, Wrong ... Good, Bad ... Winner, Loser ...

There is always a balance, nothing is fair.

So to what makes a man, someone who gets what he wants, and keeps what he wants, while being able to eliminate all threats to his preferred existence.

What makes a man is having his own damn opinion and not asking it around. That's quite a meta answer, but being a man is quite a meta thing anyway.

Having a moral back bone and producing something of worth (whether in work, charity, or family) is probably at the top of the list.

Negative aspects of masculinity are bottling up emotions - the only downside is that if you express suicidal thoughts and anxiety people will think less of you (most people) so that's why we keep it to ourselves (and one of the reasons male suicide is an issue).

The penis, that's literally it. Anything else is just a matter of trying to feminize men.

An x and a y chromosome and attainment of at least 18 years of age. The hell with society's expectation that man has to achieve certain things and provide for people to be a man. You have the right to be thought of as a man if you're male and you've attained the age of adulthood. end of story.

What makes a man?-Y chromosone.

Positive- tough, stoicism, leadership

Negative- not usually able to express emotions except for a few, higher risk of death, less likely to be cared about
