"What qualities make a man a man" - lists qualities that make a man a 'man', such as knowing how to cook a steak. Reverse the genders - I wonder if knowing how to give a blowjob makes a woman a 'woman'?

A real man ignores advice on how to be a real man.

Heres one, "What makes a douchebag author a douchebag author?" He gives so little thought to the unique qualities that define his subject matter that his examples could be applied anywhere.

Most of the things in the article are how to socialize (bullshit) and how to cook (bullshit). I cant vouch for the book but if you just went by the article youd think he was using the same material for any gender (I mean as long as we're selling sexist stereotypes).

Like how to tip for example. He could stuff that gem in any book for any group of people he wanted. "What qualities make a black jewish transsexual a black jewish transsexual?" They know how to tip!

Well shit... I'm only half a man :(

This brings up an important point. Never date a woman who is not willing to suck your dick. It's an indication that she's not comfortable with male sexuality. :)

That is like reading some arrogant 20 year old's version of what a "man" should be.

How about: real men should understand that other men define their masculinity/manliness differently and we don't all sit around scratching our testicles and grunting for more steak.

This is a man talking about his ideas of manliness. Not sure this is a MensRights issue.

Silly article but it touches on a real point.

Men are only considered men if they are valuable to society in some way. Women are women without qualifiers.

I am over the age of majority, have unambiguous male genitalia and XY chromosomes. I'm pretty sure that is what makes me a man; well that and the fact that I consider myself one.
