What is a man?

[Disir]

What is your definition of a man? When someone tells a kid to act like a man, what does it mean? Is your definition of what it means to be a man different from the expectations of others?

It mean's they are teaching the kid toxic masculinity and that woman and femininity is inherently inferior.

It is a way of telling a kid to behave more maturely. Usually told to a male because telling a girl to act like a man would be inconsistent.

So we need some cushions, too, then.

A man doesn't care for women with no meat on their bones. He doesn't expect women to look like supermodels.

He's all in, straight-up, stone-cold down with the fatness.

That is a man.

My dad cooked and cleaned, did laundry, and was bad at all of it except for a few dishes he could put out spot on. My definition of a man would be the same as for any adult--someone who does what has to be done whether they like it or not.

Which of the above guidelines would my post violate? I beleive your negative interpertation of telling someone to act like a man to be the epitome of political correctness. And I beleive the way I communicated that to be appropriate for CDZ.

Can't argue with that. At least I don't think I can. Or maybe I just don't want to.

This man has nothing against supermodels. However, I don't expect all or most women to look that way.

Fear God.

Dont get drunker then you can handle.

Dont be lazy.

Work hard.

Fight for what you hold dear.

Dont smack up your woman.

Support your kids.

Dont lie.

Protect your word.

Not in any order really but that covers most of it for me and my boys.

Lorena Bobbit was a man for a short period of time by that definition.

That's fine with me. I'm not going to argue with her.

No. I've told my daughter to man up often.

I means taking responsibility for yourself, totally and completely.
