What does it mean to be a Man?

calicuz51-55, M
Taking care of your responsibilities.

It has nothing to do with character traits, like walking around like a tough guy, belching so loud it shakes the windows or shooting snot out of your nose.

It means you are born with a penis, testicles and the chromosomal configuration to be assigned 'male' gender at birth 9 months (ish) after you actually became alive.
Umile41-45, F
If I was a man..I think I'd just go for it. I'd probably be a go getter. Getting things done. My mentality doesn't look pretty sitting on a woman's body.
Nitedoc51-55, M
@Umile There a some powerful and wealthy women in the world who are not bound by social norms and expectations. It's not too late to do something now.

Born a male, take care of family at all times

DOES NOT pretend to be a female to win sporting events
sunriseloverM
Have X and Y chromosomes in every cell of the body.
sunriseloverM
@sunriselover I鈥檝e given a biological answer.

But I somehow feel the brain itself sometimes rejects this notion, psychologically, and so a biological male behaves as if it is female.

And to make it more complex too, in the early stages of development in the womb, chromosomes can change from XY to XX, caused by chemical changes or irradiation (of Cosmic Rays or radioactive rocks, or Argon in the atmosphere).Hence the emergence of hermaphroditism.

If you read the article this mentality is excessively exclusionary.
sunriseloverM
@Aidan I confess I am out of my depth here. But am lead to believe it is more complex than meets the eye.

I like to refer to the three Ps of masculinity

Protect - those who need it
Produce - be a builder, not a destroyer
Provide - for those who cannot help themselves

Generally good for anyone though.
A protector and a provider.
