  • Have a penis? Congrats, you're a real man.

    That said, the only people I really see trying to dictate what a "real man is" are these annoying as hell teenage girl pages that sometimes get shared by some people I know that thinks "Being a real man" is when a man does something that benefits a woman. God, they make me cringe.

    Other than that, I suppose I could add the few male feminists that use the whole "A real man supports feminism", and to that I just cringe equally.

    • That probably makes you cringe because you look like a woman

          • Well, I wasn't feeling offended, either. I guess I'll just continue with the blank facial expression.

            • Nor were you supposed to be offended, I was just stating fact.

              It's good that you're happy with your femininity

    • "That said, the only people I really see trying to dictate what a "real man is" are these annoying as hell teenage girl pages "

      I have to call bullshit on that.

      Have you never seen parents raise sons to be "manly", treating them differently than daughters?

      Never seen a men's magazine?

      Seen any advertisements for men's products/services?

      Peer pressure? Pressure from society in general to fit a "manly" ideal?

      Bullying of less "masculine" men/boys?

      The struggles of homosexual men?

      • We are trying to asses what makes a REAL man. Not the swines that the media turns boys in to.
