So if I interpret this right; what you're saying is that the same or similar traits can be attributed to either masculinity and femininity, depending on how the person embodying them identifies?
I believe you've linked these before and I read quite a bit of it. What I'm interested in, though, is how you view this topic personally.
I like a man to be - a man. That is to say; dependable, reliable, self-confident, and inteligent. As for being "manly" in that personality-wise sense, sure, its also a nice thing to see. Assertiveness, decisiveness, strength of will. As long as being manly dont translate to being chauvinistic/sexist, vhich can be a very thin line, IMO. And many men dont know how to toe that line. Knowing how to toe that line is also a sign of a "real man", for me, vho can be manly and sensible, at the same time.Inspired by this thread, I wanted to ask what Iwakuans think what it means to be a man? How do you define being a man, or being manly? What traits are typically masculine? What it the role of 'manliness' and masculinity in modern society? Does masculinity even exist or is it even relevant? How do you personally feel about any of this?
Now, I know this can be a sensitive and political topic and I have labelled this as discussion. That means you may discuss the topic, but please don't be cunts. Don't attack people. Don't ask loaded or suggestive questions. If a post makes you angry; calm down before responding. Failing that; do not respond at all. I have no personal agenda past learning by posting this, I ask of all of you to be respectful of each other's right to hold your opinions, even if you dislike the contents of these opinions.
Go.
Mind sharing some specifically? I'm curious.Majority opinion of what's masculine is, in my opinion, 1) severely dated and based on archaic gender roles that need to die. A lot of things considred masculine, especially in regards to interactions with women, are straight-up offensive when you think about them.
This seems like a reasonable definition.Masculinity to me is push ups and oil wrestling.
