Women are worthless and feminism is ruining Western civilization and feminizing men so that we can't be real men anymore

>> No.6937980

Although there might be a characteristic or two that's more or less universal, the concept of manhood is somewhat relative.

Ask 10 different women (or men) what they think being a man amounts to and you will get 10 different answers, with some of the answers overlapping in their constituent characteristics.

Look for the near-universal characteristics of manhood, and don't bother with others. Otherwise, you're just looking for a recipe on how to act as others want you to act, which is pathetic.

Farting? That's weak. Try 'homoerotic inside jokes about what you would do to each other while maintaining your heterosexual composure'.
