One of the most important qualities that modern humans have is the ability to express our strength through our feeling, regardless of what is expected of us. We are no longer the hunters-gatherers we once were, but we are men who are strong in every way. It is no longer a question of being a "man" in the traditional sense, or even a man who is "no longer" a hunter or gatekeeper.
Men have relied on the ability to govern and dominate for so long, but they are now being challenged by women and men. Not surprisingly, many men find it hard to accept that their behavior is negative because of the construction of masculinity. The traditional idea of what a man is can make it difficult for men to open up about their true feelings, worries and problems. This is particularly true for members of the army and even more so for women in society as a whole.
It doesn't matter what the job is, because if a man doesn't like his job, he can always get another one. Masculinity requires that it is not only morally good for man, but that he be his own man in the world, to be himself and to be who he is, so that another man can protect and defend him. Real men don't suffer from such insecurities, and always have been. They feel comfortable in their own skin and encourage their partners to do the same, so that they feel good about what is best for them from the point of view of usefulness.
Men are often left in a dark and sad state of existence by men looking down on themselves as men, and cis men are very rarely given the space to question and create their own definitions of masculinity, including what it means to be a man. Real men are not gentle, nice guys who treat you with velvet gloves, but men who have everything it takes for a woman to feel comfortable in her own skin and feel comfortable with herself and her body. For women, the search for a real man means feeling safe and knowing what you are and what it is to be a "man" in the messages they send about you. Material goods can only ever send the message "this guy is for you," but real men need to have a sense of themselves - value and the ability to take responsibility for what makes them feel emotionally and mentally healthy and healthy and healthy, not just in terms of material goods.
As a society, we still seem to have more rigid expectations of men, and the same should apply to male identities. When we define masculinity and masculinity, there is a tendency to assume that masculinity means being aggressive, loud, violent, dominant, etc. The main thing holding us back is that men pretend that everything we understand by these terms is outdated.
Because men are creatures of circumstance, they call themselves characters, and these characters are the ones with whom they identify. As times change, men have a self-identity, but because we are men of society, we call ourselves characters. If we have to answer anew what it means to be a man, we condemn ourselves and re-create ourselves as human beings. Instead of challenging each other to learn what we mean by "man above," we should challenge all of us to unlearn their prejudices about what "man" and "society" mean, and find a definition that allows cis men to be happy, whole people. Only then can we truly create a new definition of what we really mean to be human and truly recreate what this really means to all of us.
Let us now talk briefly about why we constantly use the word "matriculate" to describe the process that men go through to mature to their manhood.
However, these characteristics should not lead to a person becoming a complete definition of masculinity. Masculinity is not about a particular type of character, but who you are. Masculinity is not something that can inoculate the definition of society in any person, and we cannot take it away.
As brands and companies that appeal to men, this represents a challenge, but also an opportunity. Boys and men need protectors, because they live in a world where their roles are changing and they face new challenges of what it means to be a man. How can we help redefine what masculinity means and defend positive male values?
