How do you answer the question - What is a Man?

Question

Many liberals have difficulty answering the question "What is a Woman?", typically answering with "A woman is a person who identifies as a woman." That's circular reasoning.

Let's turn it around and ask the opposite question...

What is a Man?

All these people saying XY chromosomes and dicks are describing biological males, not men.

Men are the ones who willingly stand up to be father figures for children. They are ones who want to protect their loved ones the best way they know how and not run when the going gets too tough. They are secure in themselves, but even when they aren't, they aren't afraid to admit it to themselves too. They don't treat women as "lesser thans". Probably most importantly, they don't have to go around trying to convince others of their manhood as some sort of test or pissing contest. The good ones are confident enough to already know who they are.

Those are just a few examples of what makes someone a real man.

A man is a composite biological being that belongs to the dominant species which rules and governs the earth, and is genetically programmed to form relationships with the female composite who compliments him ruling the earth, he is a working individual and previsionary individual but not a gestational being as he cannot produce new offspring directly through the apparatus of his single handed body, but must rely on a female delivery driver to execute new births into the world.

I have never answered the former question and i’m not going to answer this one. What a man is and what a man can be is so complex and nuanced that no simple answer can adequately explain it. Any attempt to do so will inevitably leave room for someone to pick a fight over my definition, which is ultimately what most people who ask these questions are after. They don’t want to be educated, let alone change their minds with the introduction of new information. They have made up their minds and they want to prove that people who don’t agree with them are wrong or worse, “evil”.
So i will quote the late, great Potter Stewart and simply say “I don’t know how to define it, but i know it when i see it.”

A male is a human being who has XY chromosomes in every somatic cell of his body. A man is a male who embraces traditional male roles and responsibilities.

purplepoppy · Answer

99.99% of us liberals have no issue identifying men/women, our definition is the same as yours.

Males gamete cells are far smaller and more numerous. This holds true across nature.

Human males have a prostate. Hospitals have got in trouble for refering to patients as prostate owners.

I don't think there's any difficultly in defining a biological man but rather in what is the essence of man, being male does not make you a man.

strateguy632 · Answer

A man does not have breasts. Oops what about breast cancer. Men have that cancer and women after cut breast cancer but they don't change to men.

A man is the one whose reproduction cells move by swimming and drill the egg. Or anyone with parts related to those cells. A female is the one with parts related to growing a baby inside her. Or with egg that does not swim but its cell wall gets drilled.

Iyaelsorai · Answer

A male 18 years of age or older.
I know there are more-poetic ways to qualify a man, but there are so many possibilities, all arbitrary, that I'd rather just keep it simple.
Besides the fact that if I were to be more poetic about it, my bar would be so high that hardly anybody in today's society would qualify.

loveslongnails · Answer

"Man" is a social term, in my opinion. The "biologists" here (uh oh) using chromosomal descriptions are describing, as Bri said, biological males, albeit not with totally correctness. It's true that MOST biological males have an X and Y chromosome, but some have and extra X or extra Y chromosome. It's also true that a biological female can have a Y chromosome yet develop with female genitalia and a functional female reproductive system.

So what is a "man"? I like Bri's answer. What is a biological male? It's not simply someone with X and Y chromosomes and a "dick".

Snakeyes7 · Answer

Depends on who you ask.

If you asked Dracula, a man is a miserable pile of secrets.

If you asked anyone over 20 years ago (and anyone today who isn't a gullible retard), an adult human male.

Anyone else and it's someone who feels like they are a man, which is not how definitions work but I never said these people are smart.

jshm2 · Answer

A male person with a penis.

The reason some struggle with "what is a woman" is that XY is obvious. but XXY, 47, XXX and other variations exist, and they "appear" as women. With some having a male characteristic
