Hijacking my own thread and I know that I always do this, but here is a great philosophical perspective on what "manliness" is and why it is still important. Written by one of America's greatest, if not the greatest political thinkers, Harvey Mansfield, it's a pretty insightful and indeed, surprising look at this now rather unpopular or politically incorrect word.
I highly recommend it.

A Harvard professor writing a book on manliness? That doesn't sound very manly to me.

I just noticed, it seems that people are mistaking GENDER ROLES for GENDER IDENTITY and vice versa. They are two separate things. I think the confusion is arising when people are talking about "masculinity" and "feminity". Reading some of the previous posts it seems they mean gender roles not gender identity.

A modest defense of manliness isn't very manly. No, really, the book isn't about how every man needs to own a tweed hunting vest and double-barreled shotgun. Much more interesting than that.

2) live with said someone
3) get married
4) have children
5) get divorced
6) rinse and repeat
In my circumstance I asked my ex why she even said yes to marry me and would try to have kids and she even told me outright that it was the next thing to do  |
OMG!! Have you been spying on my life for the last 10 years.
