To preface

I’ve been thinking about this. And have been trying to understand masculinity/manhood

Masculinity has to be different from femininity or else they are the same thing. Which really defeats the purpose of even having terms like masculinity and femininity in the first place

If 1 = 2

Then 1 and 2 are the same numbers.

If 1 and 2 are the same numbers then there is no reason to use different names for the same thing. It is really dysfunctional and the beginning of confusion

To have different things is to have separation. In other words is to have something that seperates these two things from each other. Where one can say this is different from that.

You can not use similarities to- as a basis to claim differences. If both entities can have the similarity it is no longer a difference. And it can not be used to identify a separation.

If an orange is round and a ball is round. You cannot then say an orange being round is how you know that it is a fruit and that round ball isn’t. That would make zero sense.

In the same way masculinity cannot also be the same as femininity. So anything that is similar and can be shared cannot be attributed to either sex

Now to the point of this

I’ve already discussed in my previous post how true masculinity is power/physical strength in our sexually dimorphism species.

I already went over how males have more testosterone. more capacity/potential for muscle building/ protein synthesis. Height. More muscles mass in ratio comparison to total body mass. More skeletal mass.. Ect ect

What I did mention in the comments but failed to mention in op

Is this is based on the most exaggerated differences between men and women in our sexual dimorphism species

And/also

This is based on the most exaggerated peak/potential of those differences if those conditions were reached

For example women and men build muscle mass the same. But men start with more muscle mass. Men have more total muscle mass in ratio from total body mass. Men convert more caloric intake into muscle mass and expendable energy. While women convert more caloric intake into fat deposits. Males have more fibers. And males have a greater capacity for muscular hyper trophy.

But even in the situation of women being in peak physical shape they still do not have huge/big muscles (muscular hypertrophy) in comparison to what is the exaggerated/peak form of huge/big muscles (muscular hypertrophy) in males.

So since males are the ones capable of having exaggerated big/huge muscles. (Muscular hypertrophy). I then give that exclusivity to males

But also exclusivity is also being the only one with the ability

For example women having menstruation/pregnancy ect

So exclusivity is either having the potential to have the peak or most exaggerated outcome or having the exclusive ability to do something

This is the context of how I’m using exclusivity

Why did I bring that up? Well it leads into my next point

All peak/exaggerated male exclusive traits/qualities/abilities can only be achieved through Herculean effort

Whether it’s too look physically masculine (example huge/big muscles (exaggerated/peak muscular hypertrophy)) or it is to do physical acts of strength (example lifting heavy things)

Literally no man is born with huge muscles. (Exaggerated/peak muscular hypertrophy) It takes effort to achieve this

While effort is not inherently masculine. It is one of the only ways to achieve most masculine exclusive traits/qualities
