Ok, so....let's dive in. I'll start that man thread
What makes a man manly? How do you know? What makes him less than a man?
Is a refusal to use violence "unmanly"?
Is being gay (I ask this because I damn sure know far too many folks out there believe this to be true)?
Being mannered? Calm? Gentle? Well-dressed? If so, why?
Do you have problems with what you take to be popular conceptions of manhood? Why so?
Some have suggested that partriarchy, a "John Wayne" type definition of manliness, is itself a cause of war. What say you?
Enjoy.
