As a guy, real masculinity is being comfortable with your gender and not becoming uncomfortable because someone else expresses theirs.
Guys, we're workers, and problem solvers. We're also so many more things like fathers, sons, brothers and friends. Masculinity as a concept is outdated. Adapt, overcome, persevere. That's all you need.
Anyone telling you that you're unmanly because you have, or don't have something, or because you do, or don't do something, is either a fool, or selling you something.
Be a man, ignore their bullshit.
I am a man, therefore everything I do is masculine.
You know the most masculine activity I can think of? Going to the beach and digging a hole in the sand.
As a guy, I would like to thank you for this advise.
