Men. There are billions of men all over the world. Billions of men waiting to show their masculinity and prove to the world they are truly a man. It is simply an important part of being a man - letting other people know you are, in fact, a man.
Yet isn't it obvious? The vast majority of men can be easily identified as a male human organism by any other human. Their look gives it away easily, and then the voice. So why do men feel a need to prove themselves as a "man"?
The definition of a man, according to a quick Google search is, "an adult human male". The definition of an "adult" is "a person who is fully grown or developed." Typically, this is a few years after puberty stops, or as estimated by modern US society, at the age of 18. But if this is so, then what do people, specifically other human males, mean when they say that one has to be "man" enough, or "act like a real man", or "you're just a boy." Well, no, technically, every adult male is a man, so yes, as long as you're an adult male, you are a man.
Manly is a word used colloquially to describe something as having the qualities that are often associated with a man. These qualities are stereotypical of many men, and the men which have these qualities are often referred to as manly. There are certain types of men who describe things in terms of "manliness", and these are commonly thought of as the men who are "manly" themselves. Sometimes they will drive a truck like this:
[sarcasm]: "As we can see here, this lifted pickup is a natural indicator of a large package. Numerous studies have shown that when a man with low self-esteem purchases and drives a lifted pickup, they alter the space-time continuum and make it so they have always had an incredibly huge johnson."[/sarcasm]
They swear often, they can lift kind of a lot of weight sometimes, and they walk around with an abnormal gait. They are incredibly intolerant but usually too dense to explain their own opinion. They think they are alpha males who rule over beta males. Is it some sort of insecurity? Why are these asses considered "manly"? Since when did "manly" begin to describe something so disappointing?
But one thing they do so much, which I hate so much, is ridicule other men about their maniless. It's so trivial! Every man is a man biologically. There is no activity a man can do or a characteristic that a man can have that is not manly, because the activity is literally being done by a man, and the characteristic is literally used to describe a man. A human male. There's nothing else to it. Every male has masculine things they do and less masculine, or feminine, things they do. That's normal.
Now, a lot of this is not only because of the ridicule from men with small dick syndrome. Much of it has been brought up by society and many of these stereotypes have been carried through society as if they actually matter. As if they are more than trivial. But they do not matter. Okay? Get that through your head.
Men can do anything boys can do, and they are still men. Men can do anything women do, and they are still men. It's simply by default. A man can sit while pissing - it doesn't make him any less of a man. It's way more easy, and way more comfortable. But these "manly" men will rant about the way a man expels waste of their body, as if it matters.
Men can cook, men can drive SUVs, men can be immature, men can be gross, men can be asked out by a woman, men can play the flute, men can sit while peeing, men can gossip, men can do anything and still be men!
"Yeah but real men--" Stop right there. Shut up. Kiss my dick. Every man is real. Does "real man" even mean something? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical. "Real man" means nothing. Every man is real and defines himself.
MEN: Do not let what you enjoy, what you feel, how you express yourself, how you act, etc., define your masculinity. YOU define what masculinity is through your actions.
If "real man" did mean anything, it describes those men who don't let societal norms and insignificant jerkoffs define their own masculinity.
I'm just sayin'.
