Masculinity Week
If you're man enough. Define Manhood. If you're woman enough. Define Manhood. Do it with whatever form your hands can make words with. It's Masculinity Week on my calendar. So truthfully, I'm academically curious.

True Masculinity

Masculinity is not an adjective, it's a state of being. It is to be as tranquil as a forest to have a fire within, to be balanced in all regards. A man is to be as swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, and to be mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

Masculinity is not about muscles or how much of an asshole you are to a woman. Trucks mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, what we have idealized by American society is toxic masculinity. Masculinity is about being a man, but not just any man, instead the best man you can be.

Though masculine is often used as a fit of clothing or an ideal made by people that existed many thousands of years ago. Masculinity does not mean superior to women, nor does it mean to harm those weaker than yourself for entertainment.

Masculinity is not a body type.

Masculinity is not a sexuality.

Masculinity is not shunning those women that changed to love themself.

Masculinity is not aggression.

Masculinity is not winning.

So, do believe me when I say masculine men are men that have integrity in their character.
