In your opinion what makes a Man a Man?

I think a man should take ownership of who he is. He should acknowledge his weaknesses and embrace his strengths. He should strive to have compassion, to be forthcoming, to have principles and morals and not let people walk all over him. I think what a man should be shouldn't rise above this level of generality and I don't think anything I said couldn't apply to women as well.

I'm not a big stickler for gender roles. If a man is stereotypically masculine, good for him. If a man is like me and is not stereotypically masculine in almost any way I don't think it's a problem either.
